9 Tips to Help Teenagers Keep Their Rooms Clean
2

• Life can be tough for teenagers, even if as
  adults, we know deep down that life is only going
  to get tougher! With raging hormones and stress
  surrounding school or college, teenagers often
  struggle to find the energy, let alone the will
  to keep their rooms clean, and often require a
  lot of motivation from their parents or
  caregivers.
• However, with these simple tips, you can help the
  teenagers in your home take better care of their
  personal spaces, and should they fail, you can
  simply call in the professionals!

• Decide how much mess you can put up with
• Teenagers are often messy, and thats a fact that
  many parents either have to come to terms with,
  or attempt to change. The latter can be
  exhausting however, so it might be wiser to come
  to a compromise and decide upon just what level
  of messiness, is acceptable for you.
• Get rid of all trash
• Ideally, bagging up trash and taking it out
  should be done as often as needed, and some teems
  generate more trash than others. Once the trash
  has gone, cleaning becomes easier.

• Make the bed
• Non teenager will want to make their bed, but if
  they can try to do it every day, their space will
  instantly look tidier.
• Declutter
• Help your teenager get rid of anything they dont
  need in their room, either by donating it, giving
  it away or putting it in the trash as
  appropriate. This means left things to dust or
  trip over!

5

• Put clothes away
• Clothes scattered around a room make it look a
  mess, and also make it difficult for your teen to
  find what they need and identify what is clean
  and freshly laundered, and what needs to be put
  in the laundry.
• Tackle the big cleaning jobs first
• If your teenagers room has been left a mess for a
  long time, it might be helpful to focus on the
  bigger cleaning jobs first, and get them out of
  the way. This might be vacuuming the carpet,
  dusting all surfaces, or cleaning underneath the
  bed.

6

• Get dusting
• While perhaps not necessarily enjoyable, dusting
  is a relatively quick and easy cleaning task, and
  if you can persuade your teenager to run a duster
  over the surfaces in their room at least once a
  week, then half the battle may be won.
• Clean the floor
• Once the dusting is done, the floor will need to
  be cleaned, and if your teen has decluttered and
  put all their unused and unwanted items away or
  donated them, this should be a simple and speedy
  task.

• Getting your teenager to keep their spaces clean
  and tidy may not be as easy as the tips above
  make it seem, and if youre struggling with messy
  bedrooms and junk all over the place from your
  wayward teen, why not hire a cleaning service to
  come in on a regular basis and make your home
  less like a hovel!
