It’s not a difficult task. You can turn your baby’s bedroom into a functional, clean and organized space with a few easy steps. This will make those sleepless nights and long days much easier to manage.
This guide will walk you through ten simple steps to help you organize and deep clean your baby’s bedroom without feeling overwhelmed or stressed. These easy-to-follow steps can help you accomplish your goal, whether you have been putting off cleaning the room for a long time or just want to refresh it.
1. Begin with a complete room and furniture clean
Clear the entire room. It may seem like the most difficult part, but this is the most crucial. Remove all clutter, including clothes, toys, blankets and other small items. This includes everything. Place it temporarily in another room or hallway while you clean.

Start cleaning the room’s surfaces once the space has been cleared. Begin with the wall. As babies explore the world, they tend to leave a lot of marks. Dust and dirt can also accumulate. Wipe down the walls of the room with a mild cleaner, preferably one that is non-toxic.
Then, sweep or vacuum the floor. Vacuum the carpet thoroughly if you have it. Dust bunnies love to gather in corners and edges. Sweep and mop your hardwood or tile flooring to remove dust and dirt.
Do not forget to clean the floorboards. Often overlooked, dust and dirt can accumulate at the edge of the wall. Keep the walls clean by cleaning them thoroughly.
It’s now time to move heavy furniture like the crib and dresser. Remove these items from the wall and clean the floor underneath. You’ll be surprised at how much dust you find under the crib.
Last but not least, clean any window and ceiling fans or light fixtures. These little details will make your room feel inviting and fresh.
Take a rest once you have completed this step. You deserve it! You deserve it!
2. Switch the seasonal Clothes
After you’ve finished the heavy lifting it’s now time to tackle your baby’s clothes. It’s the perfect opportunity to look through their closet and replace the clothes which no longer fit, or aren’t suitable for the season.
Sort through the clothes to identify anything that doesn’t fit your baby or isn’t appropriate for the season. Go through all the clothes and identify any that don’t fit your baby anymore or aren’t appropriate for the season. You can, for example, remove winter gear when the weather warms up or get rid of clothes that are too big.
If you plan to have more children in the future, it is a good idea to store clothes. Vacuum-sealed bags are a great way to store baby clothes. These bags compress the clothes, protecting them from dust, moisture and pests. Before storing the clothes, you can sort them by size or season.
