Everything you need to build a TikTok-worthy Sunday reset routine

First things first: Remove dirty sheets from the bed and start a load of laundry to wash the bedding. Do your throw blankets, pillows or other infrequently laundered bedding also need to be washed? Take note of that and schedule time for it.?Bulkier items may require special handling and often have longer drying times.

While the bedding is in the wash, use the time to give the mattress and bed frame some TLC. Sprinkle the mattress with an odor-eliminating powder. While it is working, turn your attention to the bed frame itself; dust hard surfaces with a microfiber cloth and vacuum soft surfaces with a handheld vac. Then, vacuum the mattress to remove the deodorizing powder as well as dust, dander, dust mites and other soils that build up in mattresses while we sleep.

Declutter surfaces, including bedside tables and dressers, by removing everything and putting things away that belong in another place. Then use a microfiber cloth to dust and polish before putting items like reading lamps, books, remotes and catchall trays back in their place.

Remake the bed with clean sheets. If you use a diffuser or humidifier to control moisture levels in the bedroom, clean, refill and turn it on.

Remove everything from the vanity so the entire surface is clear. Use a bathroom cleaner to clean and disinfect the countertops and sink, then polish the mirror with glass cleaner. Put everything away, wiping off and replenishing things like containers for cotton swabs and rounds, skin care shelves or refrigerators and soap dispensers.

Apply toilet bowl cleaner to the bowl. While it's working to break down buildup and bacteria, wipe the exterior of the toilet from the top down with a microfiber cloth and a bathroom surface cleaning agent. Clean the bowl with a toilet brush, then use a handheld steamer to disinfect the entire toilet.

Vacuum or sweep the floors to pick up hair, dust and debris from personal care products like dry shampoo, then mop. Complete the routine by putting out fresh bath and hand towels.

First things first: Wash the dishes! If you have a dishwasher, load it and turn it on — then wash anything that is not dishwasher-safe by hand. Dry and put the dishes away, and put any small appliances or meal prep tools that have been left out (like air fryers, veggie choppers or blenders) back in their places.

After decluttering the counters by putting things away, set aside any items that belong on countertops, like fruit bowls or utensil holders, so that the entire surface is clear. Clean the counter with dish soap or an all-purpose kitchen surface cleaner, and wipe storage containers before putting them back in their place.

Take everything out of the sink and remove items from the area around the sink, like sponge holders, soap dispensers and drain catchers. Soak those items in hot soapy water to clean them, or put them in the dishwasher. Clean and rinse the sink, including the garbage disposal, to eliminate bacteria that can cause odors and foodborne illness.

Use disinfecting wipes to clean the front of appliances and cabinet doors, paying special attention to handles and door pulls. (Check the instructions to make sure the wipes are safe to use on the material. Many wipes should not be used on painted wood or stainless steel, for example.) These high-touch areas should be cleaned at least weekly to prevent germs and bacteria from building up.

Use a steam mop or spray mop to quickly clean the floors and, if you have area rugs or mats in the kitchen, go over them with a long-handled sticky roller to pick up crumbs, dust and hair.

Declutter surfaces, including coffee tables, end tables and consoles, and dust them before putting items like remotes, coffee-table books and candles back in their place.

Televisions and other electronics are dust magnets that should be cleaned regularly — at least monthly, but weekly cleaning is better. Use a microfiber cloth and a screen-safe cleaner to remove dust, fingerprints and smudges from screens.

Refresh furniture by removing all blankets and throw pillows and then vacuuming and lint-rolling the fabric to remove hair, dander and dust from the upholstery. You can also use a fabric shaver to remove pilling. Fold and fluff throw blankets and pillows and put them back in place.

Floors in high-traffic areas in the home, like the living room, should be vacuumed regularly — at least once a week. After dusting, organizing and giving living room furniture some TLC, vacuum the floors.

Your routine is done! This is a good time to reward yourself — and fight off any lingering Sunday scaries —?by lighting a candle, putting on your favorite show and relaxing before Monday comes.
