We've mentioned a bedroom cleanup before as a good weekend project, but since we are planning to do it ourselves tomorrow, we put together a checklist (that always seems to make the job go faster for us). After "cleansing" our closet, we think we can definitely knock out a bedroom deep clean in a few hours (just like Sarah did last weekend). If you are going to join in on the project, just put on some comfy clothes, turn up your favorite "cleaning" music and work your way through our not-so-daunting list of chores...you know you'll be happy you did. Checklist below:
The Bedroom Deep Clean, Step-by-Step:
1) Pick Up and Put Away All Clothes, Books, Belongings
2) Strip the Bed
3) Launder the Bedding
4) Flip the Mattress
5) Push Aside the Bed and Clean Under It
6) Vacuum Out the Closet
7) Dust all Surfaces and Wipe Down Light Switches, Fixtures and Ceiling Fan with a Microfiber Cloth
8) Clean Windows and Mirrors with a Glass or All Purpose Cleaner
9) Vacuum Drapes with Brush Attachment, Wash Curtains (if possible) or Clean Blinds
10) Clean the Floors/Vacuum the Carpet
11) Remake the Bed
12) Enjoy a Well Deserved Great Sleep in your VERY Clean Room!
Even though I sleep in a closet, I could still stand to give my little bedroom a deep clean. Even more so, actually. Sleeping in a closet in an old apartment building is gross, especially when you have black bed sheets. I can't believe I haven't gotten sick, actually, with all the dust that has been caked on my sheets.

2 things:
1) i commend you for choosing your "closet" to sleep in. i would have refused to, but i mean, it works for you. to be honest, i kinda dig that claustrophobic kind of feel. no joke.
2) do you tend to sit around on the internet for hours? i read that in your last post. i've been noticing myself doing it lately because it's too cold to go anywhere a lot of the time! and i can't stand it. i check my bookmarked sites every 2 minutes.
1) Yes, I like it too. Like a womb, or one of those pillow forts you build as a kid. And it's really good for insomnia to have a sleeping area separate from your living area. This was the main idea behind transforming my closet into a bedroom, and it's helped me a lot. Also, it's really fun to tell people "I'm haven't come out of the closet yet" when receiving a phone call before I'm out of bed.
2) I spend WAY too much time on the internet. It's especially bad on my days off. Sometimes I wake up only to transfer my naked body to the couch where I will remain for hours, on the internet. I did great today though, woke up at 9am, watched the inauguration, cleaned my apartment, was out the door by noon, and just walked around the hill and downtown and played with a friend until 6pm!
