What are your goals in doing so?

I want to get rid of clutter and have a clean apartment
user
For that, one approach might be to clean one shelf in a room a day.  This can give you a sense of accomplishment, and you can also use this as an opportunity to evaluate and decide what to keep.

Do you have any other suggestions?

One approach to make it more efficient would be to clean only a couple shelves in a room at a time.  You could continue to alternate, or you could try some other methods.  For example, you could go through each shelf in a room, and categorize each item by where you’d like it to go.  It’s possible that you’d want some items on your desk, some in storage, some in the kitchen, and others in the bedroom, and so on.  You could then sort into these categories based on those criteria.
