Cleaning Your Home

A dirty home is a sure fire way to put off potential buyers, so make sure your home has a thorough clean from top to bottom before any viewings. Pay close attention to detail too, as if you don't, the buyers will and this could make or break a house sale. Dust shelves, skirting boards and furniture; clean and polish streaky windows and mirrors until they shine; make sure the kitchen sink and draining boards are clear of dirty dishes.

At Kesgrave Cleaning Services, we offer a regular window cleaning service, so you can hire us to give your windows a professional clean - and, if you like our service, why not recommend us to the new owners?

De-Cluttering

Even large rooms with plenty of space look small, cramped and uninviting if books, paperwork or toys are strewn all over the floor or left on the surfaces of furniture. Too much clutter looks sloppy and will put off potential buyers. Go round each room as if you were looking at it for the first time. Clear the floors, tidy up bookshelves and put clothes and shoes away in the wardrobe. Do the same in the bathroom; hang up towels, clear make-up and toiletries off surfaces and put them neatly away into drawers, boxes, or medicine cabinets.

Cutting Back on the Furniture

Too much furniture or overly large furniture can also be off-putting for buyers as it makes a room look smaller than it really is. Take a good look round and, if you feel that your home looks too cramped, remove a few pieces of furniture to make the rooms appear larger. It sounds obvious, but make sure you leave plenty of space to comfortably enter a room. If you have furniture blocking the doorways, buyers will automatically think that your home doesn’t have the space they need.

You can always put some furniture into storage, or store it in the attic or at a friend's place. If you don't need it, you can sell it or give it away to The Furniture Project in Ipswich or Freecycle. The Furniture Project will come and collect items that you have donated, free of charge.

Keeping Walls Neutral

It's a good idea to keep the walls a neutral colour, such as cream, bright white or magnolia. This means that potential buyers can visualise the room as a blank canvas and can imagine putting their own furniture there.

Finishing Touches

There are lots of finishing touches that you can add to make your property more homely. Having fresh flowers strategically placed around the home will make it more inviting. The smell of fresh coffee or baked bread are very comforting smells and will make potential buyers feel at home. Clever placement of mirrors (above fireplaces and in dark corners) can also make a room look bigger.

Outside Area

It's equally important to make sure your garden is clean and tidy and that the fence panels, greenhouse and shed are in good repair. The front garden in particular deserves a makeover as it is often one of the first things visitors see. For some buyers, the garden is what can sway them most and can make or break a sale.

  3. Yeah I agree about the lack of house cleaning being a turn off. I was looking for a house a couple of years ago and saw several that were filthy and even though the houses were a good size in a good location, the condition just put me off.

  4. It makes them feel that you are either lazy or running in losses – and either of this is bad for your brand. You might even invite legal action from environmental authorities and government bodies or agencies monitoring workplace safety and hygiene. Office Cleaning London
