Your Ultimate Weekend Reset: A Checklist for a Great Week Ahead
1st Aug 2024
We know how overwhelming it can be to start a new week with a messy home and a mountain of chores. A weekend reset can set you up for success, providing a clean slate for the week ahead. From tackling laundry to prioritising self-care, this checklist will help you begin the week on a high note.
1. Start with Fresh Sheets & Pillowcases
There’s no better feeling than sliding into bed with fresh sheets. Make it a habit to change your sheets and pillowcases once a week. Not only does this promote better sleep hygiene, but it also adds a touch of luxury to your weekend reset.
When washing your sheets and pillowcases, use cold or lukewarm water on a gentle cycle. Avoid overcrowding the washing machine and wash your sheets separately. Ensure they are fully dried before putting them back on your bed, or have a second set ready to go.
Tip: Use our Signature Concentrate Laundry Liquid to keep your bed linen super clean, smelling fresh and feeling soft.

2. Make Sure to Wash Your Towels (And Bath Mats)
Towels should be washed every three days to keep them fresh and free from bacteria. Along with washing your bath towels and mats, take a moment to give your bathroom a quick wipe down. Clean the basin, organise your makeup station, and make sure everything is in its place.
Tip: Use wool dryer balls to dry your towels quicker and ensure they're extra soft.

3. Reset your Desk
If you work from home, resetting your desk is crucial. Desks tend to accumulate knick-knacks and clutter throughout the week. Take time to wipe down your desk and monitors to start the week with a fresh, organised workspace. This will help you feel more settled and ready to tackle your tasks with a clear mind.
4. Clean Key Areas Efficiently
If you're pressed for time but still want a clean house, focus on these essential steps:
● Vacuum high traffic areas: Target your kitchen and any carpeted or frequently used spaces to remove dust and dirt.
● Wipe countertops and tables: Quickly wipe down surfaces to keep them clean and presentable.
● Check your fridge: Take a moment to review for expired items to maintain freshness.

5. Plan your meals ahead
Take a moment to plan your meals for the upcoming week. Planning ahead can be a lifesaver if you have a busy schedule, saving both time and money in the long run. Start by checking your fridge and pantry to prioritise ingredients that need to be used soon. Consider batch cooking meals to streamline your week.
6. Prioritise Selfcare
Now it's time to relax and ensure you set aside some moments to enjoy the afternoon. Indulge in a long, relaxing shower to unwind. Follow this with your favourite skincare routine to rejuvenate your skin and refresh your mind. This self-care routine not only helps you unwind but also prepares you for the week ahead.
