Dorm Room Spring Cleaning

It's finally spring! This means that it is time for spring cleaning, dorm room style. With finals coming and trying to find storage units for those out of state students, cleaning is the furthest thing from anyone's mind.

Speaking of storage units, College Boxes is a great place to check out. They will pick up your items straight from your door, store them for you over the summer and deliver them back to your new dorm room. Link to their website is below. 


Back to cleaning; I think it is easier to clean your dorm room especially if you are an out of state student and have to travel by plane back home. Pack what you NEED to take back with you and box up all the important things you want to keep for the new semester. Whatever items don't fit in the boxes is what should be given or thrown away.

When cleaning your room make sure to start at one corner and work your way around the room. I like to give myself a certain time limit to clean an area so that I do not get distracted by random items I may find. Also playing your favorite tunes helps. 

The first step to cleaning is to remove everything and clean the surface. 
Second is to add pieces back that do not need to be thrown away while also arranging items in an orderly fashion. I found this to be the most effective.
Finally, once all spaces have been disinfected and items properly placed, spray some Febreze or get a wall plug in to keep the room smelling fresh and clean.

Hope these tips help. Happy Spring (cleaning)!
