3. Clean

It’s now time to clean the room and remove all traces of dirt and dust from the whole area. And don’t just focus on what’s visible on the outside; attack the cupboards, drawers and those high shelves, too, that are usually invisible. Pull out furniture and clean behind and below it. You want everything to be really clean before you start work on the next step.

4. Organise

Once the room is clean, it’s time for the final step: to put things back and start organising. When your belongings are stored and tidied away your home will be more appealing. It will look clean, neat and calm and that will make you feel happy.

You’ll feel great

You start off really energised and raring to go, then you hit the middle part and that’s when you start to check your watch and wonder when it will end and why you started. But by the time you get to the end, wow: you feel great, you’re blown away by what you’ve achieved and you want more!
