How to Clean Your Home on Short Notice for a Showing
When you’re trying to sell your home, the last thing you want is to get caught off guard by an unexpected showing. But, even with a little advance notice, cleaning your entire home can be a daunting task. Fear not! With a little organization and some smart tips, you can get your home show-ready in no time.
Start with the most important areas first
When you only have a short amount of time to clean, it’s important to prioritize the areas that will make the biggest impact. This usually includes the kitchen, bathroom, and living room. Start by giving these areas a quick once-over with a duster and a damp cloth. Wipe down counters, clean mirrors, and do a quick sweep of the floors. If you have time, run a vacuum or a quick mop.
Declutter, declutter, declutter
The key to making a good impression when showing your home is to make it look spacious and clean. The easiest way to do this is by decluttering. Go room by room and gather anything that’s lying around on counters, desks, or floors. Put away items that are cluttering up surfaces, like books, magazines, and knick-knacks. If you have time, consider putting away anything that’s cluttering up closet and storage spaces, too.
Speed-clean the rest of the house
Once you’ve tackled the most important areas and decluttered, it’s time to give the rest of the house a quick once-over. Make your bed, fluff pillows, and tidy up any other areas that may have been missed. If you have time, give the floors a quick sweep or vacuum.
Don’t forget about the exterior
First impressions are everything, and that includes the exterior of your home. If you have time, do a quick sweep of your porch and sidewalks, and tidy up any outdoor furniture. If you have a lawn, mow it if needed. If your windows are looking dirty, give them a quick wash.
Relax and let your home shine
With a little organization and some smart tips, you can clean your home on short notice for a showing and make a great impression. Once you’ve finished cleaning, take a step back and admire your handiwork. Your home is now ready to shine!
