If you’re thinking about selling your home, you will want to come up with a plan to make sure you sell your home as quickly as possible and for the best price you can get.

The most important part of selling your house is making it appeal to the people who come to view it. This is why staging is so important – appearances are everything when it comes to people choosing a home they can see themselves living in.

Cleaning is often the last thing you want to be doing when you’re in the process of selling your home, but having a clean home helps it sell significantly faster than a messy or dirty home. A clean home lets potential homebuyers picture themselves living in the home and assures them that it has been well-cared for and is a clean and healthy living environment.

Pre Occupancy Cleaning

If cleaning your home in preparation for viewing seems like a daunting task, hire a professional cleaning service to do it for you. At Canadian Carpet Cleaning we have lots of experience in doing pre-sale cleaning packages that will leave your home sparkling clean. Having your house professionally cleaned is a low cost way to transform your home and give you an easy return on investment.

The cleaning services that we recommend to anyone selling their home are:

  1. A thorough floor cleaning, including a good carpet cleaning. It’s important to use a professional carpet cleaner when cleaning the carpets because they will be able to get rid of the grime and Scotchguard™ the carpets, which is especially important if you have viewers trekking in dirt during your open house.
  2. Window cleaning. When potential homebuyers are sizing up a house, they often like to look out the windows in the home to see what the view is like. Having clean, streak-free windows not only gives people a good, clean view outside, it also shows them the level of care and thought you put into caring for your home.
  3. Kitchen cleaning. The kitchen is one of the most important rooms in a house and one that potential buyers pay the most attention to. A clean kitchen will allow the buyer to picture themselves in the kitchen making family meals and entertaining guests, whereas a dirty kitchen can be off-putting and be indicative of other problem areas in the home.

Other pre-sale residential cleaning tips from Canadian Carpet Cleaning:

  • Declutter your home and get rid of excess stuff that you’ve accumulated. This also helps you out when you’re moving – you’ll have less stuff to move to your new home!
  • Give your walls a fresh coat of paint in a neutral shade that will make the rooms appear bigger and brighter
  • Make any minor repairs necessary, like fixing holes in walls, broken doorknobs or even changing burnt out lightbulbs
  • Tidy your outdoor space by tending to overgrown shrubs or gardens and cleanup the patio area so that homebuyers can picture themselves relaxing outdoors in the sun
  • Remove bulky pieces of furniture that make the room feel small and cluttered so that buyers will feel like there is ample room for their own belongings
