[shadowedfairy]

Hi am new to this community, my name is Stephanie and I am 20 years old. I need some cleaning advice A.S.A.P!

I live with my fiance, his parents, and 5 cats, and 2 dogs. Can you picture the mess?

My main concern at the moment is our bedroom...I intend to clean it

I myself am 20, however, I do not have nearly as many occupants to be concerned about. Be that as it may I DO have a BUNCH of clothes in a SMALL space. I understand the battle of wanting to clean your room everyday but when there is no place for it to go I know it can seem pointless.

SO
in YOUR case I would keep what you absolutely KNOW you will be wearing on a daily/weekly basis in the 2 dressers and package the others up and out of the way. When it is laundry time, it will give you a chance to bring some of the clothes you had put away into the dresser/rotation.

I find that with a messy bedroom, the clothes being out of the way seems to make the job almost 10x easier. As a clothes horse with a closet, I can only imagine the difference it would make for you ;-)

Separating...that is the pain in the ass. Once that bullet is bitten, it will be worth it.

Clean On!

As for the video game consoles and Warhammer... I have both. For my numerous consoles, I have a simple dresser that has five drawers, in which each of my consoles is stored, as well as a drawer for controllers/other gadgets. Then, whenever I have an urge to use one of them, I just get out that one, and put it back when I'm done.

For Warhammer, I have a large tub that I keep all of them in, and the paints are in a seperate one, which is usually on top of the dresser, or the bigger tub.

In general, I find that stuff like computer-related hardware is only used sometimes, so storing it in boxes and tubs and such, until it's needed, and then putting it away afterward, really helps to keep down the clutter.
