Clean Like You've Never Cleaned Before

Spring cleaning has nothing on the cleaning you should do when you're putting your home on the market. You want every square inch to shine, from the baseboards to the corners of your ceilings and everywhere in between.

A squeaky clean home suggests to buyers that the current tenants took good care of the property, a notion that extends beyond the kitchen counter tops to the entire house. If you've neglected certain tasks, like cleaning the inside of your refrigerator or regularly dusting your window blinds, now is the time to tackle them.

The cleaning you'll do for staging purposes has similar steps to the deep clean you do when you move into a new home, so start with those and add on as you need to.
