Weekends are for relaxing — but a messy apartment can ruin the mood. Don’t worry, you don’t need to deep clean everything to feel refreshed. These 5 quick cleaning tips will help you reset your space and your mind in under an hour.

1. Start with a Declutter Sprint

Set a 10-minute timer and go from room to room picking up anything out of place — shoes, wrappers, dishes, papers.

Bonus Tip: Use a laundry basket to gather items and return them later — it saves trips.

2. Wipe Down the High-Touch Areas

Grab an all-purpose cleaner and a microfiber cloth. Wipe down door handles, light switches, cabinet knobs, remotes, and countertops.

Pro Tip: Citrus-scented cleaners make everything feel even fresher.

3. Sweep & Mop the Entryway

Your entryway collects the most dirt. Sweep, mop, and place a clean doormat — it sets the tone for your entire home.

4. Change Your Bedsheets

Fresh sheets instantly change how a room feels. Bonus points if they’re sun-dried or lavender-scented.

5. Light a Candle or Diffuse Essential Oils

Cleanliness isn’t just visual — it’s sensory. Once your space is tidy, finish off with your favorite scent. Lavender, lemon, or eucalyptus work well for a “fresh start” feeling.
