Spring cleaning may often call to mind extensive overhauls of your kitchen, closet, and living room, but you don&rsquo;t want to leave out the room where you should be spending many a peaceful hour every night: your bedroom.
There are plenty of easy cleaning tips you can get started on right away if you want to clean your bedroom and help get some better sleep out of the deal, too. That annoying time change also happens this month, so we all need all the sleep we can get! Let&rsquo;s get those spring-cleaning PJs on and tackle our bedrooms, one stuffed animal and stray sock at a time.
&nbsp;
1. Tech-less Troubles
There&rsquo;s one easy place to start your bedroom spring cleaning this year: Wherever it is you keep your cell phone. Step one: Remove your cell phone from your bedroom. Step two ... well, that&rsquo;s it. Clearing your bedroom and making it an electronic-free space is a quick and easy way to improve the quality of the sleep you receive. If you rely on it for an alarm, go out and get a cheap old fashion clock. Trust us.
If your nightstand is starting to pile up with other electronics &ndash; such as your laptop, video game consoles, or iPads &ndash; these also should be removed from the bedroom. It&rsquo;s all for the benefit of your sleep, and you&rsquo;ll be surprised how much more relaxed your bedroom feels right away. Just remember: When it comes to sleep, electronics-free is the way to be! You can easily organize your stuff in another room &ndash; perhaps by getting a docking station where you can neatly place everything to charge overnight.
&nbsp;
2. Fresher, Cleaner, Lighter
With spring comes warmer weather, which means you probably don&rsquo;t need all of those blankets that you&rsquo;ve been slowly piling up on your bed as each winter night grew longer and colder. Banish them away into storage! Be gone with them! Off with their metaphorical heads!
Before you pull out your spring sheets and bedding, however, give them a good wash to clean anything that may have built up during storage. A poll run by the <a href="https://sleepfoundation.org/sites/default/files/bedroompoll/NSF_Bedroom_Poll_Report.pdf">National Sleep Foundation found that people sleep better</a> with fresher smelling sheets. So kill two birds with the proverbial stone and clean those sheets and improve your sleep at the same time.
&nbsp;
3. An Eye For Some Shut-Eye
Take a second. Hop in bed and look around. Are you happy with everything you see around you? The pictures on the wall? Are you happy in your bedroom?
If not, spring cleaning is a perfect time to fix this! Everything your eye can see in your bedroom is going to have an impact on how you feel and could have harmful impacts on your sleep. If you can see it and you don&rsquo;t like it, replace it with something you do! Cleaning doesn&rsquo;t just mean getting rid of things, it can also mean adding in new things you like better.
&nbsp;
4. Voracious Vacuuming 
You may have thought you were going to make it through this list without having to pull out the staple of spring cleaning that is the vacuum, but sad to say, that&rsquo;s not going to be the case. Vacuuming your mattress is a good practice to get into to keep it clear from dust and other dander. Use the brush attachment and then proceed to vacuum as normal. Mattress covers are also a good idea to help keep your mattress in shape!

5. Plump Those Pillows
Pillows wear down much faster than mattresses do, and if your pillows are starting to look more flat than round, it&rsquo;s probably time to replace them. Even if you don&rsquo;t notice it, bad pillows can be having a detrimental effect on your sleep. So, tossing out those old ones and bringing in some new ones is another great way to clean up your room and improve your sleep at the same time.
&nbsp;
No matter how clean your bedroom gets, though, if your mattress isn&rsquo;t in good shape your sleep is going to suffer. Stop in today and we&rsquo;ll be glad to show you our selection of affordable and amazing new mattresses &ndash; and you won&rsquo;t have to worry about cleaning a new mattress until next spring!&nbsp;

5 Spring Cleaning Tips to Help with a Better Night's Sleep 

it's spring cleaning time which means it's time to deep clean your kitchen! Take these tips into consideration when you're scrubbing your appliances ...

Wasn&rsquo;t it just the new year? It seems like 2019 just started, and yet here we are already entering spring. And that means one thing. Yeah, it doesn&rsquo;t really excite us either, but it&rsquo;s here again: spring cleaning time!
We aren&rsquo;t just here to help you with a basic spring cleaning, though -- you can handle the dusting and vacuuming on your own. Instead, we want to help guide you through the nooks and crannies and appliance alcoves that might be missed in your run-of-the-mill cleaning. There isn&rsquo;t anything run-of-the-mill about our appliance store, and the same goes for the expert cleaning advice we have to share!

1. Microwave
Microwaves tend to see a lot of kitchen traffic, but they also tend to get messy, too. The good news is there&rsquo;s an easy way to clean your microwave out: Put a half of a lemon in a bowl with some water. Microwave the solution until it begins boiling, then let everything soak in for a few minutes. The next part is easy: Just wipe everything down to find your microwave all clean and lemony fresh!
&nbsp;
2. Garbage Disposal
This is one of those scary areas to clean &ndash; there&rsquo;s just been one too many horror movies that have scenes involving garbage disposals! The good news is that you can clean them without getting too close to the blades. And again, we&rsquo;re going to call some fruit to the witness stand.
First, fill up the sink with dish soap and water. Wait until it has drained, and then throw some cut-up citrus fruit into the disposal. Run it to chop up all the fruit, and ta-da! Clean as can be.
&nbsp;
3. Blender 
A word of caution here &ndash; you always want to be careful cleaning your blender. Be mindful of the blades, especially if you have filled it with water and are washing it out by hand. Been there, done that. You don&rsquo;t want to do that.
There&rsquo;s an even easier way to clean out your blender, though: Fill it halfway with soap and water and run it. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. Also, make sure not to use too much soap, or it can cause everything to leak while blending!
&nbsp;
4. Dishwasher 
Your dishwasher cleans things, but how do you clean something that is supposed to clean other things? Well, when life gives you lemons, use them to clean. Duh.
Run a load with the washer empty, but use powdered lemonade instead of your normal detergent.
But if you keep having problems with your dishwasher, however, it may be time for a new one. We&rsquo;ve got loads of amazing washers at even more amazing prices &ndash; all just waiting for you to take one of them home.
&nbsp;
5. Electric Tea Kettle
Just because you boil hot water in it doesn&rsquo;t mean it can&rsquo;t get dirty! You want to be sure to clean out your tea kettle too, no different than you would any other oft-used appliance.
The battle to clean a tea kettle is against hard water and limescale, which means the answer is either vinegar and water or lemon and water. Pour either of those combinations into your kettle and set it to boil. Once it is cool you can empty it and it should be clean!
&nbsp;
6. Coffee Maker
You drink out of this every day, and yet when was the last time you actually stopped to take a second to clean it out? Yup. That&rsquo;s what we thought. A clean coffee maker is a sure-fire way to make certain that you are starting your day right.
A vinegar-water mixture run through the machine can help clean it out, but you&rsquo;ll want something a little stronger for the pot itself. Try water mixed with baking soda &ndash; mix it together, pour it in the pot and give it ample time to break down everything that has built up. There. That should do the trick.

Of course, if you are having any problems with your appliances &ndash; or are in the market for new ones &ndash; just stop on over!
