How to Clean a Child’s Bedroom
Cleaning a kid’s bedroom can be challenging. However, we promise you that a deep clean, purging and some organization will make a huge difference, and upkeep won’t be quite as hard.
While the cleaning process is the same as any bedroom (read how here), kids’ bedrooms present some additional challenges like toys, books, crafts and clutter. The day of reckoning may have come for your child’s collection of twigs and Q-tips.
Get Your Kids Involved
First things first, this is NOT a job you should do alone. While it may be tempting to get in there solo and knock it off your list, this is THE place where your kids should be involved in the process. There are important life skills to be learned here.
Depending on their ages, the amount of work they can do, and the length of time they can focus on the task at hand may vary, but the idea is still the same. This is their space, and they need to care for it.
If you need help with age-appropriate strategies and tasks, our Kids Chore Charts are the perfect solution.
Cleaning
Cleaning walls and floors in a kid’s bedroom can be a bit more precarious.
While our Tide recipe makes handprints disappear and your hard floors shine, Mr. Clean will help you deal with the little treasures kids sometimes leave behind (think boogers, play makeup, slime or pencil markings).

Purging
There is never a lack of things to shovel out from a child’s bedroom. Between clothing that they’ve outgrown or blown the knees out of to books, toys and craft remnants, “stuff” to purge is never hard to find. Most times, it’s garbage; don’t be afraid to toss it.
As you work your way around the room (left-to-right and top-to-bottom), make sure you’re giving all drawers, shelves, and bins a good purge.
Usually, this is a good job to do when your child isn’t home, as they tend to be little hoarders. It’s hard enough to convince yourself it’s okay to throw out the one individual Barbie shoe without them over your shoulder telling you it’s priceless.
Organizing
Aside from a kitchen, you’d be hard-pressed to find a room that doesn’t need organizational systems in place like a kid’s room does. We have some solid suggestions here for toys, clothes, and school supplies.
The key is to ensure that your organizational system is functional for your child; otherwise, they will not buy into the method.
Utilize labels (pictures work great for kids who can’t read yet) so they can find their stuff and keep the most-used items easily in their reach. This goes for closets, desks and bookshelves as well.
Beds
Kids’ bedding can get full of crumbs, boogers, etc., so it’s important to wash and change their sheets and comforters regularly.
Changing the bedding on the top bunk is a nightmare (although we have it down pat here), and if your child doesn’t share a bedroom, the top bunk becomes a storage space for stuffies, water bottles and snack wrappers.

Making sure that all those things have homes in the room will help cut down on the clutter that can gather on an unused bunk.
With regular cycles of purging, organizing, and cleaning, your kid’s bedroom will remain more functional and an inviting space for them to play, relax, and sleep. If inviting them to take responsibility for their space feels stressful, our Kids’ Chore Charts will relieve a lot of pressure.

Prime Day is HERE (July 8–11) and this OGX® 5-step bond repair system is part of the deals 🙌🏻
It’s made for damaged hair, works from the inside out to restore, strengthen, smooth, and protect hair. Miracle? Science? Either way, I’m into it.
My fave? The sealing serum. Multitasks harder than I do.

Comment link below and I’ll send you the link for the Zing and the brush attachment. The Bissell Zing is one of my favourite vacuums that comes in under $100 in both Canada and the US. You cannot beat this price for the suction and power this thing packs. It’s light weight enough to carry around, lift up high (or low) to get into hard to reach places, and the filter is washable, the canister is easy to empty. I pair it with the hair brush (you have to order it separately!) for dusting baseboards, bathrooms, shelves, basically everything. This vacuum is for hard floors only: It does not have a beater bar for carpets. Only downfall it has is that the cord is a little short and the stick floor attachment sometimes falls out so you have to ram it in there. For under $100 you can’t have it all but honestly this is as close as it gets for me.
