Cleaning your house is more important than you think

There are a couple reasons why you should clean your house before listing it and before selling it. Not only will you enjoy living a cleaner space (while you’re still there), but the new residents will greatly appreciate the gesture.

(i) If you’re trying to sell your home, hiring a professional cleaning company can go a long way towards ensuring a sale. These companies know how to clean the hard-to-get places. Their expertise will ultimately make your living space much more aesthetically pleasing.  Cleaning and staging homes are proven methods to help selling houses, so don’t overlook them!

(ii) A thorough clean after packing will give you the chance to do one final run through and see if you missed any important items. A lot of times, this is where you will find phone chargers, cable wires, etc., which will be of use in your new place.

(iii) It’s the right thing to do. You’ve sold your house to someone who is excited to move in – don’t let your place disappoint. By cleaning your house for the next residents you are ensuring they don’t complain to their real estate agent and you are making their move-in a little more stress free. Chances are if you are moving in to a new place, the past tenants or owners have cleaned the house so you have a painless move.

Whether or not you hire cleaners, remember, cleaning your house is worth the effort!
