[header] How to make your bed [title] Clear the bed. [step] Whether you're making your bed after getting up in the morning or after washing your sheets, the first thing to do is to clear the bed. Be sure to take off pillows, stuffed animals, comforter, e.t.c. 
[substeps] Take the duvet/blanket off, the top sheet and any pillows and set them aside (preferably not on the floor). You can leave the fitted sheet (the one with the elasticated corners) on the bed.
