Kitchens and Bathrooms need to be spotless, immaculate!
Potential buyers will be looking for the door if your kitchens and baths are
less than 10 out of 10 on the cleanliness scale.
For the open house make sure kitchen counters are clutter
free. Less stuff makes counters look bigger, and bigger counters is selling feature.
Sinks should be shiny. Make sure floors are clean, and clear the fridge of
magnets, artwork and notes. Put all soaps, sponges and cleaning supplies under
the sink. Empty the garbage regularly to keep odours away.
In the bathroom put all personal items: toilet brushes, garbage
cans and scales under the sink. Close the toilet lid. Make sure floors, mirrors
and counters are spotless. Keep shower items to a minimum and put out fresh
towels.
If a buyer can imagine themselves cooking in your kitchen or
soaking in your tub, you are one step closer to the sold sign on your front
lawn.
