How to Clean Your Bedroom for Better Sleep and Health

Start with a Bedroom Deep Clean 🧼

Before you light that lavender candle or buy blackout curtains, you need to address the basics. A deep bedroom clean removes allergens, mites, skin cells, and pollutants that interfere with restful sleep.

• Clear clutter and wipe all surfaces

• Dust shelves, skirting boards, headboards, and under furniture

• Vacuum thoroughly – including under the bed and furniture edges

• Wash all bed linen in warm water, including pillow covers and duvet inserts

🧹 Regular vacuuming is good, but occasionally calling in a pro is even better. If you’re working with wall-to-wall carpet or struggle with regular upkeep, our office and home carpet cleaning services are tailored for all kinds of spaces – including bedrooms.

Don’t Neglect the Mattress 🛏️

Your mattress is the heart of your sleep quality – and unfortunately, also a dust magnet. Over time, it collects dead skin, sweat, allergens, and more.

Here’s how to clean it at home:

• Remove bedding and hoover the surface slowly

• Sprinkle bicarbonate of soda over the mattress, let it sit, then vacuum again

• Spot clean stains with mild detergent and minimal moisture

• Flip or rotate if your mattress type allows

😮 Most people forget to clean their mattress altogether. But for a truly fresh sleep experience, a professional mattress cleaning service can eliminate embedded grime and allergens safely, especially if you have pets or kids.

Freshen Carpets, Rugs and Upholstery 🌬️

Carpets and rugs absorb more than just visible dirt. They trap dust, bacteria, skin flakes and moisture – all of which can affect the bedroom’s air quality.

• Vacuum regularly and deep clean at least once a season

• Use carpet-safe deodorisers like baking soda and essential oils

• Air out rugs and cushions in sunlight when possible

🏠 Upholstered furniture in bedrooms like chairs, ottomans or headboards should also be cleaned regularly. If you work from your bedroom or it doubles as a relaxation area, consider adding office carpet cleaning to your next professional clean.

Purify the Air and Add Plants 🍃

Dust and allergens float in bedroom air long after you’ve vacuumed. A few clever changes can help maintain fresh, clean air:

• Open windows daily, even in winter

• Avoid synthetic air fresheners – choose natural sprays or diffusers

• Add low-maintenance plants like aloe vera or snake plants

• Use an air purifier with a HEPA filter if you’re sensitive to dust

🌸 Indoor plants not only absorb toxins but add calm and balance to the space – supporting mental clarity and restful sleep.

Clean Curtains, Blinds, and Bedding Regularly 🧺

Curtains and blinds are often overlooked, but they attract dust just like everything else. Wash or vacuum them regularly to avoid allergy flare-ups.

• Choose machine-washable curtains or use a handheld steamer

• Wipe down blinds with microfibre cloths

• Don’t forget to clean behind and above window fittings

Swap out heavy bedding during warmer months and keep extra blankets washed and stored. Your skin and sinuses will thank you 💨.

Keep Your Sleep Space Simple and Clutter-Free 🧘‍♂️

A tidy room equals a calm mind. Clutter not only collects dust, but can visually stress your brain and make it harder to relax.

• Store items out of sight or in sealed bins

• Avoid stacking laundry, books, or tech near the bed

• Choose calming neutral tones for décor and fabrics

A minimalist approach enhances not just aesthetics, but the feeling of cleanliness too. The less you have to clean, the more restful your space becomes!
