- A reset doesn’t mean cleaning everything. Pick one space and give it five minutes.
- Start with whatever will make the biggest difference: clear it, clean it, reset it.
- Surface Reset is perfect for quick everyday wipe-downs.
- Bathroom Reset and Floor Reset give other spaces their moment too.
- Beautiful fragrance is part of the story, so give it time to settle before moving onto the next thing.
Five minutes may not be enough to clean your whole home.
But that’s not the point of the 5 minute reset.
This is about choosing a small area, putting it in order and enjoying that lovely feeling when a space feels calmer, cleaner and more like somewhere you want to be.
What is a 5 minute reset?
Choose one room or small area and give it five focused minutes.
It could be the kitchen worktop after breakfast. The bathroom sink before guests arrive. The hallway floor where everyone seems to have walked wearing shoes.
You’re not aiming for perfection. You’re just making one little corner feel better than it did five minutes ago.
And because Clean Reset combines brilliant cleaning with beautifully layered fragrance, you won’t just see the difference… you’ll smell it too.
How to do a 5 minute reset.
Time | What to do… |
Minute 1 | Clear clutter. Cups away, put the post into a pile. Don’t start reorganising drawers. This is just a reset. |
Minutes 2 | Spray your Reset and leave it to work for a minute, you’ll notice the fragrance building. |
Minutes 3-4 | Focus on what matters and what can make the biggest difference. Wipe or mop the area clean. |
Minute 5 | Let the room reset. Put everything back, step away and enjoy the fragrance. |
Surface Reset is the go-to for wiping down suitable sealed hard surfaces around the home.
Bathroom Reset is made for bathroom grime, including soap scum and limescale.
Floor Reset gives sealed hard floors their own beautifully fragranced reset from the ground up.
Clean Reset fragrances have been carefully layered, so they feel more like home fragrance than your traditional cleaning-spray scent. So that last minute is part of the ritual for YOU.
Pick your reset by mood.
Sometimes you know something needs a clean but other times you just want a room to feel different.
For something bright and uplifting, reach for Surface Reset No.1 Rhubarb & Pink Pepper.
Want something warm, grounding and restorative? Try No.12 Vetiver & Sandalwood.
Then for a rich, comforting feel, there’s No.30 Geranium & Patchouli.
Bathrooms can have their spa moment with Bathroom Reset No.8 Cardamom & Rosemary, while Floor Reset No.22 Mango Leaf & Jasmine brings the sunshine underfoot.
Find your five-minute moment.
The best thing about a 5 minute reset is that there really isn’t a right time to do one. It could be:
- While the kettle boils and your tea brews
- After dinner when the kitchen needs putting back together
- Before friends arrive
- On a Sunday morning when you fancy starting afresh
Just don’t turn it into a job. If your five-minute reset accidentally becomes 45 minutes of pulling everything out of the cupboards, you’ve ventured down a different path.
Small resets work because they’re manageable. They change how you feel in a space and let you go and get on with your day.
Five minutes. Big difference.
