Staging Tip #3

Deep clean your home. This goes beyond your typical cleaning routine. A deep clean should include dusting all light fixtures, cleaning window treatments, wiping down kitchen cabinets and vacuuming inside too, scrubbing tile grout, washing windows and wiping down baseboards. Be sure to clean all pet areas as well, because pet odors can be a huge deterrent for potential buyers.

You may want to hire a professional to deep clean. Once everything is clean, set up a routine to maintain it. Keep a basket in the main area of the home for quick clutter pickup. Store toiletries in a caddy to be easily tucked in a cabinet. Stock up on cleaning wipes for quickly wiping down countertops.
