Sunday Reset Cleaning: Ideas for a Fresh Start with Music and Mopping
If you’ve been on social media and seen any light cleaning content, you’re probably very familiar with the Sunday reset influencers. Regular people film their Sunday cleaning routines, and it’s a little bit cathartic to watch! This concept of the Sunday reset as a way to prepare for your week ahead is really a phenomenon in the cleaning niche on social media. But there’s something to it, and we wanted to highlight the benefits of cleaning and organizing for your mental clarity and fresh start at the beginning of the week in this post, along with some ideas on how you could establish your own Sunday reset routine.
Sunday really is such an ideal day for resetting the home. As the weekend comes to a close, you want to set yourself up for a successful week. We feel like we touch on this in almost every blog post, but a clean environment really can positively impact your productivity, mood, and mental health. It’s a huge part of why we started True Glow Cleaning to begin with.
One of the most notable parts of a Sunday reset routine is setting the mood with music. Put on your favorite album or playlist that energizes you but also relaxes you, so you can tackle the cleaning in the most enjoyable way possible. We love pop music to boost our mood and energy while cleaning, but sometimes we do audiobooks or podcasts too. Whatever helps make the time fly and keeps you happy while cleaning is the best thing you can do to set a good vibe for your Sunday reset!
If you don’t already, consider creating a room-by-room checklist for your tasks. Of course, always start from the top and work your way down so you’re not dropping dirt or dust on lower surfaces that have already been cleaned. A lot of people like to clean from left to right, which allows you to move through your space while listening to your music or audiobook, methodically cleaning without missing anything.
Here’s a quick checklist idea:
Living Room: Dust surfaces, vacuum upholstery, and declutter.
Kitchen: Wipe down countertops, clean appliances, and organize the pantry.
Bathroom: Scrub the toilet and sink, restock toiletries, and clean mirrors.
Bedroom: Change bedding, tidy up, and dust surfaces.
Mopping is always a great way to wrap up your Sunday reset. It really has a huge impact on your home’s cleanliness. When the floors are clean, it just feels right! Start by doing a quick dusting and vacuuming, then mix up a little vinegar and detergent in hot water to clean those floors.
In terms of finishing touches, consider using your essential oil diffuser or adding fresh flowers to your favorite vase. These little touches can really polish off the space! And don’t forget to take a moment for yourself—enjoy an afternoon cup of tea or an evening glass of wine, and soak in the cleanliness of your freshly reset space. Be grateful for the work you put in!
If you don’t already have a Sunday routine, start working on your cleaning checklist and give it a shot. And let us know what you think!
