Looking to refresh your cleaning routine? Embrace the Swedish concept of städdag. That is, a dedicated cleaning day to declutter, tidy up, wash, and sanitize whatever needs refresh. Städdag, which aptly translates to “cleaning day” in Swedish, is a ritual based around the goal of making your home a more comfortable retreat for you and a welcoming space for others.
Not totally unlike the social media trend of a “Sunday reset,” this is done through weekly refreshes, ideally performed at the same time each week. Städdag can introduce structure and intentionality into your cleaning practice.
