“Market-Ready” Home-Cleaning Tips

Reader Comments
Back to blog

Maintenance is paramount to keeping a clean home; it is much easier to maintain a home that is already relatively clean then to clean a home that has not been touched in months. If you do happen to find yourself in the second situation, do not attempt to clean your whole house by yourself at once; this can be an overwhelming task (and one you are unlikely to complete).
Nothing beats the feeling of accomplishment, so don’t set yourself up to fail. Set small, manageable cleaning goals (such as today I am going to clean the master bathroom) and you will be much more likely to finish with a clean home then if you attempt to tackle everything in a day. Hiring a maid or cleaning service to come in one day to provide you with a “fresh start” is of course another option.
Simply put, try to never let anything get to the point where it is unmanageable. Attempt to clean a little each day, maintain your cleaning efforts once reached, and soon you will have the clean home you deserve.

Use a subdued color paint. Neutral tones instead of bright colors. It distracts from what you want the buyer to really see.

Great Tips! To add to the pet maintenance category, I would strongly suggest the Miele Cat and Dog Vacuum from www.galaxyvacuum.com
I have two dogs who shed everywhere! My Cat and Dog Miele has not only done an imaculatae job in removing pet hairs but has it has also helped to elimnate oder with a special filter.
Best of luck home sellers!

Lighting candles or having the fireplace lit makes for a cozy atmosphere
