Bedroom cleaning routine

my cozy bed and relaxing bedsheets

A child's room to tidy up is a life to build - Daniel Pennac

Ventilate – Dust – Sort – Throw out – Tidy

Natural, organic, vegan and cruelty-free products
  • Homemade all-purpose cleaner (water + vinegar + dish soap)
  • Ethical bedding (organic cotton, bamboo, eucalyptus, or recycled plastic)
  • Vegan & eco-friendly synthetic duvet/pillows
  • Homemade pillow mist (rubbing alcohol + lavender essential oil)
1. Playing favourite music (create a cleaning music playlist)
Higher - The Saturdays

2. Allow bed to air out before making it and open the window (for 15 mins each day)

3. Pick up the rubbish

4. Declutter flat surfaces: floor, bed, furniture, stool, etc.

5. Remove everything that shouldn’t be in the room and put it in its correct place: clothes, accessories...

6. Remove dirty clothes

7. Vacuum everywhere
=> vacuum before dusting at my place, to prevent dust from being raised and circulated into the air while walking/moving
=> to prevent dirt and disease, remove shoes before entering a home

8. Make the bed (change sheets if needed)
=> fluff up the vegan & eco-friendly synthetic duvet, and shake out the pillows
=> spray a light mist onto the surface and leave to dry completely (rubbing alcohol evaporates quickly): => cleans, deodorizes with anti-septic antibacterial properties and kills dust mites

10. Dust by vacuuming with the dusting brush attachment
  • dust high surfaces first and work downward
  • start at one end of the room and move in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction
  • move objects and dust under them and replace them in their original position
  • focus on small gaps: cornices, top of door frames, window frames, window sills, picture and frame, headboard &  bed frame, surfaces of furniture (dressers, mirrored dressing table & its stool (feng shui: always cover mirror with a nice fabric), bedside tables, lamps and lampshades, items
  • then spray all-purpose cleaner on the cloth and wipe down all flat surfaces
11. If needed, vacuum again and mop or use a steam cleaner

On the path of minimalism

Bedroom => personal sanctuary, a refuge, a haven of peace from a hectic world
  • minimalist bedroom  => downsized furniture, to strip to the bare essentials and eliminate anything unnecessary in home and life
  • less stuff  =>  less clutter, less cleaning, faster cleaning
  • 5 sets of bedsheets  => 2 bedding sets
 

Homemade all-purpose cleaner

  • in a spray bottle: 200 ml water + 3 cs white vinegar + 2 drops of dish soap + 5 drops of lavender essential oil
  • shake the spray bottle well before each use

Homemade linen spray

  • in a spray bottle: 100 ml rubbing alcohol + 15 drops of lavender essential oil
  • shake well before each use

Sautéed potatoes, Grandma's way

Image
If you don't like potatoes, you cannot be trusted I love starchy food , cereal grains and some root vegetables.  I love potato : air fryer or oven chips, baked, Dauphinoise, curry, mash, roasted, salad,... and of course sautéed, very easy and simple. Potatoes, one of the most versatile vegetables, provide essential nutrients like fibre, vitamins (vitamin C, B6...), and minerals (potassium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium...). Ingredients 1 tbsp grapeseed or rapseed oil * 2 potatoes, cut into rings each, about 5 mm salt, pepper 1 garlic clove, minced herbs, finely chopped (chives, or parsley or thyme) Preparation Heat the oil in a large frying pan, add the potatoes and fry over a medium-high heat, turning them occasionally until they begin to brown.  The edges are crispy. Then add pepper, parsley, and stir for a few seconds. *  I'm going to stop using olive oil : first, it is more and more expensive and above all,  olive oil scams  are proliferating if it is not...
