It's been a long time since I cleaned my room. Believe it or not, I hate doing those chores. I always tend to forget them during my OJT days, considering how tiring it was. However, since I have more free time than usual, I have no reason to forget it. As part of my routine, I always ensure that I schedule my weekly cleaning every Sunday. Two weeks ago, I cleaned some parts of my room while it was still not scorching hot.
Overview of My Drawer
Here is my drawer where I used to store my clothes. If you take a look at it, it's so messy on top. I'm also concerned about how dusty it was since my last deep cleaning was six months ago. Anyway, I'm not sure how old it is since I think that my parents received it during their wedding. They're exactly 22 years married as of the blog's proofreading. Imagine how many years have passed since I used it.
Removing My Accessories
Since I'm still contemplating how to start, I removed all my accessories first from the upper left divider. After that, I wiped all the dust accumulated on it using a tissue. I use it instead of a rag since I have this opinion that it would not be messy. It was also easier to dispose of compared to a single rag where you need to wet it after usage. While cleaning its interior, I played The Life of the Showgirl album by Taylor Swift. It's one of my most favorite album releases this year aside from K-Pop Demon Hunters and rosie. My Spotify Wrapped stated it all!
Removing All the Drawers and Playing an Album
If you take a look at the pillar of my drawer, it looks awful. I just realized how much dust it collected even though I know that it's closed. But if you think about it, there's a small gap between them. After removing them, I came to realize that I should clean it at least once a month. I'm sure I'm going to clean it more often since I don't have further commitments.
Wiping the Drawers and Playing Another Album
As I said, I didn't only wipe the drawer boxes. I also ensured that I cleaned its main foundation. As stated, I only used tissue to wipe it since it's easy to discard. The only downside is its ineffectiveness in removing the dust properly. If I use a wet cloth on the drawer, I was contemplating about the mud it could get. Since I still considered filming TikTok videos, I skipped it for the meantime. However, I will make sure that I target those areas once I successfully wipe all the areas in my room.
While cleaning, I also proceeded to listen to another album. I chose to play the "reputation" album by Taylor Swift as my second played discography. This album is one of the timeless and non-skip albums that I have listened to throughout my life. When I was a kid, I only listened to her singles. But now that I am older and I'm the primary decision-maker for the technology I use, I love the overall album now.
Folding the Clothes
After I successfully wiped the drawers, I proceeded to fold my clothes. I also ensured that I segregated them properly. I have four drawers where two of them are for tops like t-shirts. When I was in elementary to high school, I always wore sando. But as I grew older, I no longer like wearing sandos and prefer t-shirts. I always have separate drawers for tops for casual or at-home use. Meanwhile, the remaining two are for my bottoms. I only use three jogger pants when I go out, so I decided to merge my bottoms in one box. The latter is for my barely used clothes and other stuff.
Wiping and Organizing My Accessories
I utilize the top of my drawer for boxes and other accessories. Since it was so messy, I removed them and wiped it. I also organized it to ensure that it looks good.
Cleaning the Ceiling and Sweeping the Floor
Once I finally finished, I started to sweep the ceiling since I saw a lot of webs from gagambang bahay. If I have enough money, I would repaint our house and invest in a dehumidifier. I noticed a lot of molds at the top, and it annoys me. My sibling was also not participating in cleaning our bedroom. Instead of cleaning it, he moved to the sofa to sleep. So genius!
