How to ACTUALLY Clean Your Room - Step By Step
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 май 2020
- In a previous video where I took an individual photo of everything I own, I completely decimated my room in the process, lol, and as I embark on this series of learning minimalism, I figure the best way to start is too share my step-by-step process on how to clean your room; no cap; how to ACTUALLY clean do it.

I have way too much stuff in general. It's not ok. So although, no matter what, I'm going to be doing some spring cleaning, I want to figure out if creating the processes and systems to support a minimalist lifestyle is sustainable and positive for me.
This series is going to be sharing my journey of learning, building new habits, and setting expectations that I hope will have a positive ripple effect throughout all other areas of my life.
I feel like I have a lot of clutter, both in my physical space, as well as in my head, and have, over the past few years, realized that one of the keys to happiness is simplicity; no drama, no complication. And although I think I'm on the right track, at least from a work and relationships perspective, I've always been someone who likes to collect things, buy things, and way-too-easily justify acquiring new things.
Forget how wasteful it is from a personal financial standpoint, it's wasteful for society, and the world. Seeing dollar-store shelves really makes me wonder, who's making all this stuff? Who's buying all this stuff? How long is it used before it ends up in the trash can?
I think, even from a selfish perspective, we should all consider the state of consumerism, how much money we spend, how to save money, how to stop shopping, to stop being wasteful, and simply considering and being conscious of everything we have, and how to build good habits. Knowing and being aware of everything we own might be a great place to start. It's where I'm starting and I can't wait to see what I learn!

Me too
Being overwhelmed about where to start is usually the thing that keeps most people from tidying up.

i really struggle with adhd and not being able to keep my space clean which can get really stressful. this was really helpful for breaking down the overwhelming multistep task of just “cleaning my room” into individual steps that i can actually accomplish
I have ADHD too and I searched for cleaning videos on RUclips for the same reason! This video is awesome, I’m glad we both found it.
same here! i definitely feel ready and equipped to clean my room in the next five minutes now
@@ees3876 did you do it
This is the only video that helps
Same here, I finnaly beat my ADHD paralysis 💪
I go through waves of depression and just plain out laziness. Thank you for helping us that are finding it difficult to be motivated.
I am deeply ashamed that I had to look this up

Hey be proud that you wanted to do something that'll be good for you
I feel you, but I mean I think we can give ourselves some grace , life gets hard and sometimes we’re never taught how to do things like this

Why the heck does this video not have like a million views???? This video is well put together and has INCREDIBLY useful information. Thanks for this man, you earned a subscriber!
same here
not that many people are interested in having clean, neat and organised rooms
Because most people aren't slobs to begin with and so don't need to watch this.

@@ALEXMB163 Amen🙏🏻❤️
I needed this, It all started with one bottle of water, It slipped under my bed and i was like "eh it's just a bottle it doesn't matter" and then other one and other one and my bedroom became a wasteland overtime.
Thank you for this video, Now my room looks like someone lives in it and not like it has been abandoned for centuries!
FINALLY cleaned up my room after like 3 months !!
Im cleaning rn after like 5 months
Bro I clean it once every few months but it was bc I had school

I was amazed by the results of following the tips from this video. My room looked like a mess before, but now it is neat and organized. I learned how to declutter, sort, and store my belongings in a way that makes sense and saves space. I feel more relaxed and productive in my clean environment. This video was very helpful and informative.
As someone who kept a tortilla and a chip in a photo binder as a kid because I liked the shapes, I really struggle throwing away anything.
Improving slightly but man it will take a lot of work to get use to getting rid of stuff.
It helped me to find a place for items that I feel need recognition and need to be loved.
I donated materials to a craftingplace and I traded a lot. That helped me as well, since I gathered a box full of items I no longer wanted and got (for example) a nice pair of jeans in return from someone.
It's the quiet desperation for me... And it really reminds me that it's all more effective if you get excited and tie the accountability into something else that major, but not life shattering. We're witnessing strategy. Great example.
As a student and athlete i have little time to do stuff and this video has helped me tremendously
Using your bed to organize is a huge tip.
Also, I like to use boxes to categorize things. I have a bunch of random camera things or dirt bike parts. My tip is to use a small box and fill it with like items. Once it’s full, you can get a bigger box and put everything in it or get another box. You can then set the box aside with a label and stack them as needed. You can eventually figure out where to put them or organize later on. But this at least gets it out of the way and stacking the box will make lots of room to continue cleaning.
I LOVE this idea.
yeah, but i dont hsve a box or carton, i barely got organizers in my room asides from plastic enveloped and bags for school because im not allowed to buy "annoying" stuff
@@just_ise4418I use shoeboxes
@@just_ise4418 I reuse old food-boxes (cartboard corflakesboxes) and cut the top off and use them for my envelopes and my stickercollection.
Your video helped me so much with cleaning, i’m usually all over the place not knowing where i should start and it always becomes a really long process with me but thanks to you i’ve been able to get things done quickly, THANK YOU SO MUCH 💜💜
I'm fine with the laundry and the media and all that. I've even cleaned up my closet recently and gotten rid of a bunch of stuff. It's all child's play until I get to the paper... 😱
Ugh, I know right? And paper manages to breed like rabbits lol. I find first starting with separated piles really helped, and then a proper filing cabinet and system. Nothing is child’s play for me when it comes to organizing lol, so you’ve got a clear leg-up in that clothes and media are all easy for you 🤩
I'm with you
I used to work at an insurance and cleaned my customers buckets, yes buckets, of documents
General rule of thumb: any important paperwork is usually in s special color! Otherwise keep an eye out for tax papers! Everything else is usually trash. If unsure keep the newest updated (for example the last statement on car insurance bill)
Hope that’s helpful
@@jessicabauer7958 It will be when I'm out in my own 😊
My room was a completely mess but I followed this video and my room was completely clean within 3 hours! I’m using this again, best video ever.
I’ve been watching back to back videos on how to keep your room tidy and this is the ONLY video that is actually making me get up to clean my room thank you so much !! You’ve gained a subscriber
i find it easier to tackle sections of my room at a time but even so this is a really good video and has kept me motivated
Thank you so much for this i've been struggling to clean up my depression room. These steps are amazing!
Looking at the quality of your videos I was expecting you like over a million subscribers
I'm surprised that you only have 1.02k . You deserve more subscribers...
Aarya! Thanks so much for watching and for such a kind comment 🙏 are you interested in minimalism too? 😊
Yes, I'm interested in minimalism. I want to practice minimalism but it is really hard for me as I'm a kind of person who will make up a reason to keep even the most useless things and even convince myself that I need those. I'm planning trying it out though hoping that it will help me to clear my mind.
That’s one of my biggest challenges too... the genuine feeling that i gotta keep everything like it’s a necessity... definitely deserves its own video when I get to that point 🙏
@@MauriceMoves Now you have 7.13 subs but dont say f@ck
It’s rare to find this much production value and thoroughness on RUclips. The videos are inspiring and useful.
It’s been at least one month since I’ve seen this video. I’m watching it again sitting in my clean room and I have come to the conclusion that for the first time in my life I have almost all the steps done already and I have stayed consistent throughout the month. I barely have to do any of the steps now and I’ve improved so much. This helped me a lot. Thank you.
Groovy dude.
1.) Everyone has something they can offer the world. You'd think maintain a room or house would be easy, but life is disorganized at times. 2. And 3.) You helped me not feel so inept as it's part of the human condition (general maintenance..lacking may be part of the depression loop.)
3.) Having accountability partners. That's one to practice caution with, some will make you default, projecting doubts.
4.) You got this dude! Thanks for the help, gonna wash some clothes now lol.
Ty for this, I have severe anxiety issues and I wanted to clean my room so badly but I was struggling sm
This video helped me to do things easier, ty ty ty 🥺
This is the best clean up breakdown i've seen. Thank you! I just subbed.
Thank you!!! I’m living in an absolute pigsty rn, not as bad as it has been but damn close, and I need to fix it for both physical and mental health. Once again, thank you so much!! This is genuinely really helpful!!!
Shut up gay
This video really helps me. I have so much stuff I don't know how to organize it. Your categories where spot on.
Thank you so much! I have a lot of trouble keeping my room clean, this really helped me! ❤❤❤
Yooooo
You are the man. The google doc is great! I wish you more life, more success, and more health! God Speed mate
I’d like to propose another step/bin: the donation bin. While you already have everything of a category out, perhaps be proactive, and place donation items in a bag already.
I really liked this! Simple, and straight to the point! You've earned urself a subscriber m8
I really think the hardest thing is “putting things away properly.” Like where do I put all this 💩 is usually where I start getting overwhelmed. What does properly mean exactly?
I imagine this is a more subjective matter. Though there are better ways to store certain types of clothes, for example, it's ultimately dependent on what storage space you have and where you want them to go. If you can't figure it out on the spot, just put them somewhere and see if it calls out to you as something that bothers you, or not.
I struggle with ocd but i cant help but always make my room look like a jungle and this video really helped me clean my room and now it looks like you just bought it brand new!
As a father, I find it therapeutic to clean my kids’ room at times. I would tackle the simplest thing first, quick wins to build momentum.
1st Picking up toys on floor and put them back on the shelves (quick win)
2nd Trash unwanted stuff eg crumped papers, empty toy boxes (if in doubt, don’t throw pls)
3rd By then, room is about 40-50% done
4th Focus on specific areas in the room eg study table,
5th Wipe down surfaces, mirrors
6th Mop the floor
Voila! 🎉
Hope this is helpful for you ;)
This helped me a lot cus. I don't clean in a oder so it takes a lot of time for me to clean, I'm so glad I found this
Thanks for practically helping me be a functioning member of society.
It’s so much easier to get into a habit of cleaning as you go instead of letting it get to disaster mode and then trying to clean it all up.
My room is spotless and I watched this all the way.
Very entertaining video
thank you soooooooooooo much this was a big help
i have such a messy room and this was very useful :)
now i'm subscribed
thank you i i have ADD and i never knew how to properly clean and organize so, this helped me a lot on my meds
Outstanding!
I’m 50, marred 20 urs, 2 kids, divorced a year ago living on my own first time since college.
Basically a 50 year old 25 yr old.
My apartment (and psychology) have been f’d.
This is a huge step in me not just getting shit together but not pulling the plug on life to get a re-spawn.
Thank you brother. ✌🏻👊🏻
thank you!! i struggle with autism and adhd and I cant keep my things clean but this video showed me how to do it, and I'm really glad, thanks.
also a quick tip to anyone that gets lazy after 5 minutes of cleaning; just play some music(especially energetic) and it may give you motivation to actually clean up(well it did for me atleast-)
Didn't think I'd look this up but hell you make it look real easy haha
My room is finally clean!!😊🎉
This actually helped me so much😭😭 my room is finally clean after 2 years of me being too lazy
This is exactly the kind of video I've been looking for. ^_^
My problem is that my room’s mess isn’t clothes, it’s just a bunch of random crap.
Oh no! Is the “bunch of random” stuff big stuff or small stuff? If it’s small stuff, maybe this could help! ruclips.net/video/8MjEb29Bkl4/видео.html
Same lol 😂
Great video and really helpful thank you 😃
God bless you and your fam!
Intense but good for you! Best of luck!
Thanks! It WAS intense but totally necessary lol. Hoping it’ll turn out the way I’m romanticizing it in my head lol
You've got this guy. I am not sure if I can do that but I'm going to try to do it for a while but I've only got a little bit of money in my house.
I've always thought about living a minimalist life and having a clean space with few things but enough to satisfy me. I liked your video, makes everything seem really ez. I haven't cleaned my room yet but will tomorrow, starting early in the morning and having everything done before I have to be at work.. I'll come back and let y'all know that I've gotten around to cleaning it. Also I think it's oretty cool posting about your 30 day challenge and having a repercussion when you fairl to meet the standard each day. Makes me want to get an Instagram account again and post about all my challenges and obstacles, showing progress. Thank you for the advice 🙏😊👋
Some tips for my depressed homies as a depressed homie;
Breaking things down into smaller tasks like this is worse for us because of how our brains work.
We already dont clean our room because we view it exactly as it's depicted here in all the minor steps and that gets overwhelming.
I'd suggest instead is breaking the room down into segments.
You dont have to do a full clean as long as you do different parts each day.
A room cleaned in parts over 4 days is better than a room you plan to do in one that you keep putting off.
Pick a spot in the room to cleanly section at random;
This might be your desk/coffee table/floor/bed/shelves etc.
Two bags; one for recycling, one for trash.
Sort out the rubbish/cups/plates.
Put things you need regularly in ease of access locations and things you rarely need away.
There you go, you've cleaned 1/4th or 1/5th of your room.
Tomorrow pick another spot at random and do the same so on and so fourth.
The idea is to keep the scale small so you dont get overwhelmed.
If need be you can fragment this into simpler steps such as sorting out only the washing, or trash, or cups/plates.
We're going for doable here. If it appears overwhelming to do ALL The cups and plates, or ALL of one section, then focus on doing only the cups and plates in one section.
The organization of this video makes the adhd and autism happy and im gonna try and tackle this absolute f*ckery of a room after months of putting it off
One of my problems is too i need shelves to better display my figures/"toys" instead of putting them away where i cant see them and also my room is....very small
such a nice video im impressed
I keep dvds just in case the internet ever goes down. And thanks for me being a collector and my brother getting a brand new apartment without Wi-Fi (internet) my dvd collection is coming in handy. Also I am going even beyond this; new wall paint colors, new bed frame (possibly new mattress), replacing the carpet with hardwood floor to make deep cleaning easier when I clean.
I just found you and I’m totally impressed. Food, finances, cleaning etc. heading to your FB page.
Ooo! I'm thankful for the discovery! Thanks for giving my small channel a shot! 🙏
Figured searching up “how to clean your room” was such a dumb and trival thing but no you actually helped me get my shit together since I have a lot of racing thoughts
Number one is getting rid of stuff you don't need. It will make everything so much easier.
im not minimalist at all (respect tho ofc) but this video was increadibly helpfull for me cleaning my junkyard of a room. thank you!!
Thank you.
No matter what I do I feel like I clean and the next 5 min is messy again
Needed this…
Thankyou man I'm gonna subscribe 😊
THANK YOU 😭💔
I have severe ADHD and my room is constantly filthy. Thank you so much for doing a video that isnt focused on "aethstetics" and is focused on actually cleaning.❤
@mauricemoves Well done sir, many people struggle with never having learned how to beak down the tasks. Bravo
Dance party is the most important step.
This video is so underrated and under viewed
Thank you
Wacky dancing aside, this was an amazing video. Thank you for the valuable information
While there's really no wrong way to sort your room out, I'd recommend a few suggestions.
Get everything off of the floor first.
Save the sorting for last because that will take the most time and consideration
Consider using a File Brief Case instead of a File Cabinet for your paper work storage
Yoo ur so funny 😂😂 love the little dance party haha I have so much random but sentimental stuff like pictures and actual dried out roses and flowers so ya thank you glad this was what popped up from clean out clean up haha rooms like 15ft by 12 so ya cramped up ... October 2023 clean out haha
youtube make this more popularrr!!!!!
Ty bro
I want to know how to clean my room properly.. 😭.... Cuz no one ever taught me , but now I will know soon 🤔😊
Thanks
helpful video
3 hours? One fifth of my room took me 1 hour
gosh but this was a very helpful vid thank u
love your Doraemon in the cabinet. 😀
5:10 i have the exact same butterfly knife. The one on the right
i found that throwing everything on my bed then forced to put them somewhere before i go to bed is a good way for me to be organized.
THANK YOU SO MUCH I REALLY NEEDED THIS, my grandma gives us money for positive things, and deducts for negative things, we get the money at the end of the year for Christmas, and having a dirty room is a minus five dollars. I really wanted an iphone this year so I decided to get my s*** together.
I said Wow! and paused the video on the room photo and restarted the video and you said Wow! too!
When I was 21 I watched Nelk Boys. Now I am 25 and watch this guy and Jordan Peterson.
I want the same design as yours. For the cabinets in front of your bed.
I’m quite good keeping my room clean
My mom sent me this
What i did for my room is take everything out and vacuum and clean etc then replace everything
after cleaning my room and make it blank, I decided to repaint the room and change the color of the walls to get a sense of environment change
Inspiring
We have TONS of media- we are ham radio operators and have all kinds of software, manuals, etc. we have 3 rooms for it, depending on that/who it belongs to! Lol
amazing! 5:53
Wow this helps cause I realized all my media and books are scattered everywhere
This is the only guide that helps
Exactly
i love your dji drone🎉❤
is it spark model
I'm going to try this and come back to subscribe if it works! 😊
I have add this helps me a lot 😂
im so so so fucking overwhelmed, i can't take this anymore I feel like I can't get through this.
GIMME THAT FILING CAB!
