Cleaning schedule
Bedroom cleaning schedule
The bedroom needs little every day: make the bed and air the room. Vacuum every week, and change the bedding and dust every two weeks, or weekly if you prefer. Turn the mattress every quarter and sort out the wardrobe twice a year, when you swap summer and winter clothes.
The bedroom schedule
| Task | How often | Approx. minutes |
|---|---|---|
| Make the bed and air the room | Every day | 2 |
| Vacuum | Every week | 10 |
| Change the bedding | Every 2 weeks | 15 |
| Dust | Every 2 weeks | 10 |
| Turn or rotate the mattress | Every quarter | 10 |
| Sort out the wardrobe | Every 6 months | 45 |
Rhythm for a household of two. With more people the busiest tasks come round more often, living alone a little less. Minutes are a rough guide.
Bedding: weekly or every two weeks?
Both are common. Every two weeks is a good starting point; if you sweat a lot, have pets on the bed or simply like it better, do it every week. Pick one rhythm and stick to it, then you never have to think about it again.
The wardrobe twice a year
- Pick the momentIn March and September, when you swap summer and winter clothes anyway.
- Everything out, in pilesKeep, mend, give away, bin. Not sure? Put it aside for a season.
- Wipe the shelvesWith the wardrobe empty, that takes two minutes.
- Back in fixed placesWhat you wear most at eye level.
More calm
A bedroom without piles is nicer to sleep in. A chair or basket for "wearing again" stops clothes ending up everywhere.
How SortYourMind does it
Your home as rooms, each with its own rhythm
In SortYourMind every room in your home is a theme with its own chores. Routines get a rhythm and come back by themselves. The app finds time for them around your appointments, so the schedule does not just hang on the fridge but actually sits in your week.
- Rooms as themes, along a fixed route through your home: you see at once where something is open
- Routines on their rhythm: every week, every 4 days or on fixed weekdays
- SyMslots: blocks in your free time, around your Outlook or Google calendar
- When your day changes, the app replans from now and moves on what no longer fits
