Cleaning Routine Series: Catch-All and Wash Sheets (Friday and Saturday)

October 13, 2016 by Blair Lamb Filed Under: Cleaning, Home, New Home

Cleaning Routine Series: Catch-All and Wash Sheets (Friday and Saturday) | Blairblogs.com | Routine via Clean Mama

My Weekly Cleaning Routine

via Clean Mama, with one change

  • Monday: clean bathrooms + wash towels
  • Tuesday: dust
  • Wednesday: vacuum
  • Thursday: wash floors
  • Friday: catch-all day
  • Saturday: wash sheets

Four weeks ago, I shared how I clean my bathrooms, three weeks ago, I shared how I dust my home, two weeks ago, I shared how I vacuum, last week, I shared how I wash my floors, and today I’m sharing what a “catch-all” day means and how I wash my sheets.

(Friday) Catch-All Day Tasks

Friday is catch-all day! It’s when I catch up on any tasks that I wasn’t able to complete during the week and straighten up our home for the weekend. Here’s a list of cleaning tasks that I may complete (depending on what’s needed) on Fridays:

  • Complete any tasks I didn’t complete Monday-Thursday
  • Wipe down kitchen
  • Spot clean bathrooms
  • Clean out refrigerator
  • Fold and put away laundry
  • Sort mail
  • Straighten up house

I usually spend only 10 minutes or less on Friday cleaning tasks!

Our very barren (but very clean) bedroom–we just moved into our house in March and we’re still buying furniture!

(Saturday) How I Wash My Sheets

  1. Strip bed immediately after waking up
  2. Put sheets in washer using the following settings: Bright Whites, Hot Water, Soak
  3. Dry sheets
  4. Put them back on bed

Note: I only have one pair of sheets for each bed. This wasn’t intentional but saves on storage space, and it also forces me to wash, dry, and re-make our bed in one day when I wash them. Plus, nothing beats climbing into bed with freshly washed sheets!

Another note: I only wash our guest room sheets after we have guests. If there’s a long span of time between one guest and another, I’ll often re-wash the pillowcases or the sheets so they’re fresh.

I realize this isn’t thrilling or life-changing, but my hope is to inspire you to find a cleaning routine or rhythm that suits you so that your home can feel like a sanctuary to you, the way mine does for me. I’m not sharing a video this week because it would be so short that it’d be a waste of time for me to film it and a waste of time for you to watch it! 😉

// Do you have a catch-all day? How/when do you wash your sheets?

    I’ve loved this series Blair! As someone who lives alone, it’s easy for me to skip out on cleaning things daily because I’m the only one in my house and it doesn’t bother me as much as I’m sure it would if I lived with someone else! I usually just catch up on the weekend when I have free time! These posts have made it clear that I can do a little bit every day, which would make resting on the weekends so much more comfortable! 🙂

    Also, I’m able to watch the videos on your blog, but when I go to your youtube page, it shows no videos are available! I didn’t know if that was intentional or something might be off in your privacy settings! Just thought I’d let you know!

    I need to wash my sheets more often! Also I love the photos of your home. It always looks nice and clean. AS a college student who works full time my room and house are alaways a hellactious mess so I admire you.
