How to clean up my room?


Weird question:

My room isn't in the best condition right now, it's weird.

My room has roaches in it, is filled with dust and dirt, has garbage all around it made up of consumer packaged goods wrappers, left over food containers and bottles, soiled papers, tissues, napkins, envelopes from old postage, postage boxes from old packages, soiled linens, and toiletries bottles.

The rooms carpet is stained and saturated with urine from old urine containers that use to be stored in the room during times of mental illness where the occupant -- myself-- would refuse to leave the room due to one reason or another, and ultimately spill or knock over the containers onto the carpet by mistake -- and it's odor is awful and strong.

How can I begin rejuvenating the room? Cleaning it up? Getting the critters out? The other day I witnessed a cockroach crawling on my mattress right next to me while I laid in the bed. My mattress currently lies on the floor instead of the box spring due to messiness, and my beds headboard has a garbage bag over it to prevent roaches and other critters that lay behind it from crawling onto it or around it and getting onto my bedframe that lay in front of it.

A little at a time, otherwise it's overwhelming. Start with the bits of rubbish. Sort any other shit you want to keep and find a place for it, then start the cleaning process. Once clean, get the roach infestation sorted.

First, grab a bin bag a put everything that looks like rubbish into it and throw it away.

Next, start in one particular area. Anything you haven't used in the past year, you don't need. Throw it.

Do one area at a time and be ruthless. Don't get sentimental about about bits of string!

Keep going until you have done the whole room. Even if it takes a month, just keep persevering.

If you know anybody who has a carpet cleaner, ask to borrow it.
If not, cover the whole carpet in a carpet freshener then hoover it up (bicarbonate of soda also works). Look on sites where people are giving stuff away and look for a big rug to cover the old carpet.

Buy a mattress protector and put it on your mattress. Wash your sheets and make your bed.

Finally get some soft lighting. A small lamp or a few candles.

Hope this inspires you. good luck👍
