How to Help Your Teen Organise and Clean Their Bedroom

If you live with a teenager then you know how hard it can be for them to keep their room neat and tidy. Presuming that most of the teenagers have this phase of life, the tips I am going to share with you have to help your kid clean and organise their room and if you are lucky enough, they will keep it that way in future.

Remember, your teen's mind is full of hundreds of thoughts and getting their room neat and tidy is probably the very last one of them. Keeping their room clean and fresh, albeit it does not top their priority list, can help them get their life on the right track. So in the following article I will share with you some suggestions and ideas to restore your teen's room to its original condition and create a space they will fall in love with.

Be a Team

Before you begin, sit with your teen and discuss what exactly has to be done over the course of the cleaning. Many teens will take advantage of their parents' help so try not to sound too bossy. Point out the benefits of having a tidy room and make sure to give an ear to their ideas, too. Remember, you have to respect their suggestions. Avoid dealing with the cleaning project on your own because some teens think of this act as an invasion of their privacy. So designate a time to do the cleaning together but when both of you are relaxed and calm so that you can have enough time to complete the job.

Step by Step

Not only is the step by step strategy very efficient but it can also help create a cleaning routine for the teen to follow. Do a chore at a time till you are done.

• Begin with making the bed. It makes the space look more coordinated.
• Give some daylight access by opening the shades.
• Gather everything from the floors, in addition to what conceals under the bed. On the off chance that it is an exhaustive tidy up, make heaps of the gathered things - one for recyclable things, one more for the souvenirs, and so on.
• Eliminate the messiness like old magazines, papers, and so on.
• Overlay the perfect garments and throw the messy ones directly in the clothing bin. Have your adolescent develop into the propensity for putting away their garments the correct way. Assist them with arranging their closet, disposing of every one of those garments which are exhausted, tore or don't fit any longer.
• Dispose of all that your adolescent doesn't utilize any longer.
• Assuming there is anything broken, fix it or supplant it.
• Make a point to clean off all surfaces.
• Clear the hardwood floors and vacuum the rugs.
• Void the garbage cans.

Storage Ideas

• Provide your teen with their own hamper for the room.
• If the space is big enough, put a desk with a recycle bin underneath.
• Use the space under the bed to store stuff, too.
• Use shelves and hooks for various stuff such as hats, bags, accessories, scarves, etc.
• Plastic boxes and bins are great for storing shoes, notebooks, scarves, etc.
• Bookshelves can keep books and magazines organised.
• A portable make up caddy is ideal for your teenage daughter's stash of make up.
