</div>
<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW146081297 BCX0">
<p class="Paragraph SCXW146081297 BCX0">If you aren&rsquo;t already sneezing from the pollen, then odds are you&rsquo;re sneezing from three&nbsp;months' worth&nbsp;of dust that built up in your room all winter long.&nbsp;Spring cleaning your entire house can be&nbsp;strenuous and&nbsp;time-consuming, so the bedroom is the perfect&nbsp;place&nbsp;to begin. If your room is feeling dirty, cluttered, or in need of a deep-clean, focusing on one area at a time will help you&nbsp;ease into the cleaning cycle without becoming overwhelmed.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
</div>
<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW146081297 BCX0">
<p class="Paragraph SCXW146081297 BCX0">Whether you&rsquo;re taking 15 minutes to pick up your clothes or sacrificing an entire weekend to clean&nbsp;the&nbsp;house,&nbsp;follow our list of helpful cleaning tips to give your bedroom&rsquo;s trouble spots a&nbsp;well-deserved&nbsp;spring-cleaning&nbsp;refresh.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
</div>
<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW146081297 BCX0">
<p class="Paragraph SCXW146081297 BCX0"><strong>NOTE:</strong> Spring cleaning isn&rsquo;t reserved just for spring. If you or a family member suffer from year-round allergies, consider&nbsp;deep-cleaning&nbsp;your living space at the beginning of every season.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW146081297 BCX0">
<h3 class="Paragraph SCXW146081297 BCX0"><strong>1.&nbsp;Tidy Your Space&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></h3>
</div>
<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW146081297 BCX0">
<p class="Paragraph SCXW146081297 BCX0">While your main concern is&nbsp;organizing&nbsp;your bedroom, it&rsquo;s best to have things tidy and organized before you start the cleaning process.&nbsp;Grab a few bags, boxes, or baskets and start eliminating items&nbsp;you no longer need. You can make a section for donation items and&nbsp;leave&nbsp;a separate&nbsp;pile&nbsp;for items you plan on throwing away.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
</div>
<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW146081297 BCX0">
<p class="Paragraph SCXW146081297 BCX0">Gather anything that no longer belongs in your bedroom and set it aside. This can&nbsp;include&nbsp;decorations, seasonal bedding, or any garbage you find under&nbsp;the&nbsp;dresser.&nbsp;Garbage&nbsp;of any kind&nbsp;should be disposed of immediately and&nbsp;the&nbsp;clothing or linens you plan on taking out again next winter&nbsp;should be labeled accordingly&nbsp;so you remember what you need to unpack when the time comes.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
</div>
<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW146081297 BCX0">
<h3 class="Paragraph SCXW146081297 BCX0"><strong>2. Remove all Linens&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong>&nbsp;</h3>
</div>
<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW146081297 BCX0">
<p class="Paragraph SCXW146081297 BCX0">Strip your bed,&nbsp;including the sheets, duvet, pillows, and mattress cover.&nbsp;Take everything to the laundry room to be washed and&nbsp;grab a fresh set of spring&nbsp;linens.&nbsp;Be sure to read the label instructions&nbsp;for proper laundry care&nbsp;and&nbsp;refrain from storing&nbsp;any bedding items until they are fully dry.&nbsp;Wash bedding&nbsp;materials&nbsp;on the warmest recommended setting to remove all dust mites, and if&nbsp;you&rsquo;re washing pillows, don&rsquo;t add more than&nbsp;two or&nbsp;three in at a time&nbsp;to avoid overloading.&nbsp;If&nbsp;you&rsquo;ve been using items like an electric blanket to stay warm during the winter, give it a spot check before storing away.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
</div>
<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW146081297 BCX0">
<p class="Paragraph SCXW146081297 BCX0">Drapes or curtains are other items&nbsp;that are oftentimes forgotten about. They can gather an unhealthy amount of dust over the&nbsp;year, so&nbsp;it wouldn&rsquo;t hurt to add them to&nbsp;your&nbsp;spring-cleaning&nbsp;checklist. If you&rsquo;re&nbsp;washing&nbsp;your sheets, might as well run a quick cleaning cycle to treat your curtains.&nbsp;</p>
</div>
<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW146081297 BCX0">
<h3 class="Paragraph SCXW146081297 BCX0"><strong>3. Time to Dust&nbsp;</strong></h3>
</div>
<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW146081297 BCX0">
<p class="Paragraph SCXW146081297 BCX0">Speaking of dust&mdash;it's everywhere!&nbsp;To avoid kicking up a constant cloud of dust, it&rsquo;s best to completely remove everything from walls, shelves, desks, or nightstands instead of trying to clean around your knickknacks.&nbsp;Wipe the bare surfaces first, then dust the items you had on display. If you&rsquo;re cleaning an especially&nbsp;dirty area, try spraying the surface with a gentle mist of water to cut down on the amount of airborne dust.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
</div>
<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW146081297 BCX0">
<p class="Paragraph SCXW146081297 BCX0">Dusting can include anything from furniture, lamps, door frames,&nbsp;ceiling fans, window moldings,&nbsp;blinds,&nbsp;baseboards, and so on. And if you have a walk-in closet with a row of shelves, don&rsquo;t forget to dust those, too. The key is to work from top to&nbsp;bottom and left to right to avoid kicking dust back into your face or across surfaces you&rsquo;ve already wiped&nbsp;down.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
</div>
<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW146081297 BCX0">
<p class="Paragraph SCXW146081297 BCX0">Because the dust can settle&nbsp;on&nbsp;other surfaces in your room, the fan blades are a good place to start. You can use a long-handled duster or slide a pillowcase over each blade so the dust can be collected.&nbsp;When dusting picture frames, use a dry microfiber cloth with a small amount of glass cleaner. You can use the same technique to dust lamps, lightbulbs, windows, and other glass&nbsp;surfaces.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
</div>
<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW146081297 BCX0">
<p class="Paragraph SCXW146081297 BCX0"><img alt="woman dusting behind the bookshelves&nbsp;" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_mattress/spring-bedroom-dust.jpg" title="PRImageFactory" width="700" /></p>
</div>
<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW146081297 BCX0">
<h3 class="Paragraph SCXW146081297 BCX0"><strong>4. Don&rsquo;t Forget to Vacuum&nbsp;</strong></h3>
</div>
<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW146081297 BCX0">
<p class="Paragraph SCXW146081297 BCX0">If possible, move any furniture to vacuum underneath or behind it. If your&nbsp;vacuum has a floor attachment, use this to clean under your bed, around the base of walls, and even&nbsp;the tops of&nbsp;furniture&nbsp;or&nbsp;other wooden surfaces that might have&nbsp;also gathered dust or crumbs.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
</div>
<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW146081297 BCX0">
<p class="Paragraph SCXW146081297 BCX0">And the obvious one, remember to vacuum your floor to pick up any dirt, pet hair, food bits, or anything else that might be stuck in the fibers.&nbsp;If your carpet looks flat and hard with very little movement or support, this is a sign that it&rsquo;s time to run the vacuum.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
</div>
<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW146081297 BCX0">
<p class="Paragraph SCXW146081297 BCX0"><img alt="young woman vacuuming" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_mattress/spring-bedroom-vacuum.jpg" title="gorodenkoff " width="700" /></p>
</div>
<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW146081297 BCX0">
<h3 class="Paragraph SCXW146081297 BCX0"><strong>5. Clean&nbsp;Your&nbsp;Mattress&nbsp;</strong></h3>
</div>
<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW146081297 BCX0">
<p class="Paragraph SCXW146081297 BCX0">This one may catch some of you by surprise.&nbsp;You might be used&nbsp;to rotating your mattress every so often and cleaning your sheets&nbsp;once or twice per month, but if you need to remove stains and bring your mattress back to life, it will require a little maintenance.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
</div>
<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW146081297 BCX0">
<p class="Paragraph SCXW146081297 BCX0">Once your mattress is stripped down and your sheets are in the wash,&nbsp;grab that vacuum once more and clean the surface of the mattress to remove any dust,&nbsp;dirt, or debris. Again, a wide-brush hose attachment will work best to get between the crevices, edges, and corners of the mattress. If you&rsquo;re planning to rotate your mattress, then vacuum both sides.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
</div>
<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW146081297 BCX0">
<p class="Paragraph SCXW146081297 BCX0">Next, attack any stains with some soap and cold water. Use a mild soap free of harsh chemicals to avoid damaging the upholstery. Use a sponge to&nbsp;dab or&nbsp;spot clean the area,&nbsp;scrubbing&nbsp;can cause stains to set in&nbsp;deeper. If this doesn&rsquo;t do the trick, try adding a small amount of baking soda on top of the stain and let it absorb for a few minutes before cleaning it with your sponge.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
</div>
<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW146081297 BCX0">
<p class="Paragraph SCXW146081297 BCX0">Take a damp cloth&nbsp;and&nbsp;wipe down the bed frame&nbsp;to&nbsp;remove any dirt or smudges.&nbsp;Go back with one of the microfiber cloths used earlier to remove any&nbsp;moisture&nbsp;left behind on the frame. You could use this cloth at the beginning if your frame looks relatively clean to begin with, and it will also work if you need to clean your headboard.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
</div>
<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW146081297 BCX0">
<p class="Paragraph SCXW146081297 BCX0">Be sure your mattress has had enough time to dry if you spot cleaned any stains. Do not put any linens on if a section of your mattress still feels damp. Once it feels dry, flip your mattress so the other side can fully air out.&nbsp;If only a small area of the mattress is wet, you can try using a hairdryer to warm these spots so they dry faster. Only use a hairdryer on a low or warm setting, turning up the heat too high could be a fire hazard.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
</div>
<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW146081297 BCX0">
<p class="Paragraph SCXW146081297 BCX0"><strong>NOTE:</strong>&nbsp;Be on the lookout&nbsp;for lumps, rips, or any other signs of physical&nbsp;damage that should be noted. If the damage is severe or your mattress is nearing a decade of use, consider upgrading to a new mattress.&nbsp;</p>
</div>
<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW146081297 BCX0">
<h3 class="Paragraph SCXW146081297 BCX0"><strong>&nbsp;A Breath of Fresh Air&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></h3>
</div>
<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW146081297 BCX0">
<p class="Paragraph SCXW146081297 BCX0">Now that the cleaning is done, you can take some time to relax and enjoy the freshness of the spring season and the freshness of your&nbsp;home.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
</div>
<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW146081297 BCX0">
<p class="Paragraph SCXW146081297 BCX0">And if you hope to improve your&nbsp;space&nbsp;even further, a new mattress is&nbsp;a great solution to add a breath of fresh air to your bedroom.
