Make your bedroom really feel like home

Moving to uni and into your new halls is such a whirlwind of a time that sometimes chores such as cleaning your bedroom fall to the bottom of the priority list – we get it!

Your bedroom is yours for the year and it’s your responsibility to make sure it stays clean and tidy. This will save a big headache when it comes to moving out…trust us.

Avoid the floordrobe & follow our tips to make your bedroom ✨spotless ✨

First things first, report any maintenance issues

If you notice something isn’t working in your room, let your Hall reception team know so that it can be investigated and fixed.

Find a space for everything

Finding a space for all your bits and bobs will help to keep your room clutter-free. Use the pin board over your desk for any loose papers, use boxes to store items under the bed and try desk organisers for loose bits and pieces.

Open the window and dust away

Opening your window regularly helps ventilate the space, get rid of unwanted moisture and keeps the air fresh. While your window is open, use a surface spray and cloth to dust your surfaces and let the dust escape.

How often? Open your window daily and dust every week

Time to vacuum            

Say goodbye to the dust bunnies and use the vacuum provided in your kitchen to keep your carpet clean and fresh (don’t forget about under the bed)!

How often? Every 1-2 weeks or as often as needed

Get a load on!

Wash your bedding, bathroom mats, towels, blankets and any other soft materials regularly. Bacteria can build up in these items so be sure to wash them at 60 degrees every now and then for a deeper clean.

How often? Bedding, bathroom mat and towels weekly

Empty your bin

Don’t let the rubbish build up and spill out onto the floor. Empty the bin and take your rubbish out regularly to avoid any unwanted smells or making any trip hazards in your room.

How often? Every week
