Decluttering Your Bedroom for a Fresh Start

I have personally been a clean freak all my life so keeping clutter-free comes easy to me. When I have a clean bedroom, everything else seems to fall into place. Being the way that I am, I know how hard it is for most people to keep their space organized. The first step youā€™ll need to take in your spring cleaning journey is to declutter your bedroom. A clutter-free space promotes relaxation and better sleep. It's an essential step in the art of feng shui.


You can start easy by removing any unnecessary items in your room. This includes going through your closet and really thinking about all the unwanted or unused material lying around in your bedroom. The next step is to try to place most of your items in an organized fashion. I always find it easiest to create a wanted, unwanted, and maybe pile. This helps speed up the process when putting things back in their rightful place.

 Make Your Life Easier:

  • Donate or store off-season items to free up space. You can find donation centers that have free drop-offs or thrift shops that will buy your items for cashback if you need extra help. One of my favorite places to sell my clothes is Platoā€™s Closet or 2nd Street Thrift. 

  • Use storage bins or under-bed organizers for extra bedding and linens. If you are someone who loves to color coordinate, this step will become your best friend. Itā€™s always fun to go to stores and find cute storage bins or organizers for your bedroom.

  • Keep surfaces like nightstands and dressers minimal to reduce dust buildup. In this case less more. I always find myself putting all my junk on my nightstands so itā€™s best to keep a clear surface to avoid more clutter. Pro tip: keep Lysol wipes in your drawers for easy cleanup.

Deep Cleaning Your Mattress for Better Sleep

One thing that no one really talks about, or no one really wants to think about is how dirty our mattresses can get over time. I say this because not only does being a neat freak mean that my space has to be completely organized, but it also means I am a complete germaphobe. Your mattress collects dust, sweat, and allergens over time. This is especially important if you have fur babies that you cannot sleep without. Sometimes we tend to forget how un-clean our animals can get because our busy lives can get in the way. A thorough cleaning can improve hygiene. Which in the long run can help improve your skin and the growth of your luscious locks. Not only can it improve your hygiene, but it can extend your mattress's lifespan, saving you money at the end of the day.

Ways to Keep Your Mattress Clean:

  • Vacuum your mattress to remove dust and debris. I have always been a fan of duster busters but just recently got a Dyson that has become easily my favorite purchase of 2025. Itā€™s easiest to vacuum with a handheld vacuum cleaner.

  • Just like cleaning a carpet by sprinkling baking soda on your mattress and letting it sit for an hour before vacuuming, helps neutralize odors. You can always use a baking soda that has a fresh spring scent to give that extra odor-free spring clean feel to your bedroom.

  • Use a mattress protector to prevent future stains and allergens. We all love our pets, but probably donā€™t love it when they leave stains on our mattresses. A mattress protector is the easiest way to wash out stains and keep any allergens or anything worse out of your mattress.

Washing and Refreshing Your Pillows

I cannot stress enough how important it is to clean your pillowcases. Clean pillows can reduce break-outs on your face. Pillows, traps, sweat, oils, and allergens, affect your sleep quality. Forgetting to clean them not only affects your sleep, but it affects your skin as well. Thereā€™s a reason why silk pillow sheets came into popularity and never left. Silk pillowcases lock out any oils and help hair growth. Cleaning your pillows and pillowcases regularly keeps them fresh. If you donā€™t have machine washable pillows itā€™s always good to just buy new ones every 3 to 6 months. Personally, Iā€™ve always found comfortable machine-washable pillows at local stores.

Tips to Year-Round Fresh Pillows:

  • Wash machine-washable pillows in warm water every 3-6 months. Itā€™s best to keep up with your pillow washes to prevent having to buy new ones to save money.

  • Use a gentle detergent and add tennis balls to the dryer to maintain fluffiness. Or, in my opinion, itā€™s best to hang dry outside to keep freshness and volume.

  • For foam pillows, spot clean and air dry to prevent damage. you can use a carpet cleaner spray so that it prevents any damage. I personally like to use a spray that smells like whatever I want my pillows to smell like.

Choosing the Right Bedding for Spring

Now that you've gotten the cleaning part out-of-the-way the next step is to choose the right bedding for spring. This is the perfect time to switch out the heavy fabrics you used for winter for lightweight, breathable fabrics for spring. As the temperature rises, you donā€™t want to be stuck with an uncomfortable heavy blanket that feels suffocated. Lightweight fabrics enhance comfort as the temperature rises. You can also have this bedding following into summer. Personally, my favorite patterns are the spring bed sets anyway. Lighter colors can bring a clean and fresh feel to your room vibe.

Tips for a Bed in Spring:

  • Since breathability is one of the main focuses, we need in spring for our bed set you can opt for cotton, linen, or bamboo sheets. There are tons of options on the Ever Lasting Website.

  • Replace heavy winter comforters with lighter duvets or quilts. I personally love duvet covers and in the Spring, I opt for lighter hues and pastel colors.

  • Choose pastel or floral bedding to brighten your space. The key to a good spring cleaning is to make sure that your room looks organized and fresh. Pastel colors brighten up your room or floral bedding, it can really tie the whole room together with all the new empty space.

Laundering Bed Sheets and Blankets Properly

Spring allergies disrupt sleep so minimize allergens for a healthier environment. By regularly washing bedding to reduce bacterial allergens, you can ensure that you never get sick and have nights full of beauty sleep. The last thing you need is to successfully clean your room for Spring and then get sick and not be able to enjoy it. One of my favorite things to use all year round is an air purifier. I have seen a significantly huge change in the way that I breathe the air in my room. Plus, I havenā€™t gotten sick in months.

Tackling Dust and Allergens in the Bedroom:

  • Wash your sheets weekly and warm water to kill germs. At the same time try dusting all your surfaces, including headboards and nightstands with the wipes you keep in your nightstand.

  • Use a mild detergent to preserve fabric quality. Hey, if youā€™re going to invest in bedsheets, donā€™t you want to save yourself money and keep them in great shape all year round? Take your time washing your sheets. Treat them like you would treat your favorite sweater.

  • Avoid fabric softeners on sheets to maintain breathability. Wash curtains and vacuum carpets to remove trapped dust. All that dust adds up and even though you canā€™t see it, itā€™s definitely there.

Establishing a Bedding Care Routine for Year-Round Cleanliness

Consistency is key to maintaining fresh and clean bedding. Everything from cleaning your bedding to mattress maintenance adds up to the end result. Mattress maintenance ensures even wear extends its durability for long-lasting use. I never knew the importance of clean mattress maintenance before I got my new mattress for Christmas and ever since I have been treating it like my own baby. I could probably have my mattress for another 10 years with the way that I treat it. One of my favorite things to do is set a schedule on my calendar for days to clean that I wash my sheets, pillows, and mattress protectors.

Tips and Tricks:

  • Rotate your mattress 180 degrees every 3 to 6 months to prevent sagging and uneven wear. This helps extend its lifespan but be aware that some mattresses are not designed to be flipped.

  • Check for signs of wear and tear and consider replacing your mattress every 7 to 10 years. Although buying a mattress seems like a chore itā€™s really like investing in a car. We spend half of our lives sleeping so why wouldn't you want to invest in it.

  • Invest in quality bedding to make maintenance easier and more effective. If youā€™re trying to save money, there are plenty of ways to get the best quality out of what you have. With the right bedding and night routine, you can ensure your bed set will have a long life.
