You may be saying by now that the house looks great what more could I possibly do to make things more presentable. Deep cleaning is the answer. House cleaning for selling your home goes beyond the typical weekly cleaning. And will make your home look, feel and smell brand new. Although you can do it yourself, this is a step that may be easier to hire someone to assist or take on. But for those who are DIY people here are some steps to take.
Minding the House Cleaning Details
- Wash windows inside and out. After all, properly washed windows will let in more light, and allow for distraction free views.
- Power wash your sidewalks and the exterior
- Re-caulk tubs, showers and sinks. As a result this small step will revitalize your bathrooms and add a crisp finish hiding cracks and other signs of wear and tear.
- Polish chrome faucets and mirrors
- Wax floors
- Deep clean grout
- Replace worn rugs
- Hang up fresh towels
- Rent an ozonator to remove odors. If you have pet or smoke oders, then you would be surprised at how this can radically transform the smell of a home.
- Steam clean carpets
- Use a Magic Eraser on doors, walls, window sills and trim
- Dust every surface. Mantles, fan blades and remaining furniture
A House Cleaning Crew
For a simpler approach I recommend hiring professional cleaners to get all the areas that might get missed. They are well worth the price and will make your home shine. They may also be able to come in periodically during the showings stage to touch up and keep your home fresh.
