Reset one surface

What you need

Nothing. Optional: a cloth, rubbish bag, or small storage basket.

Preparation

Choose one surface only. This is a reset, not a surprise home renovation.

How to do it

1. Remove everything that does not belong. 2. Bin rubbish and return stray items. 3. Wipe the surface clean. 4. Put back only the useful stuff. 5. Stop before another surface gets involved.
