Windows

You will not believe this, but by cleaning your windows is the easiest way to transform the look of your home.

•  Clean windows will let the sunshine in to light up your home, don't forget to open the blinds and curtains when at all possible
•  Clean windows can bring the outside in making your home feel larger and definitely more inviting
• I agree cleaning windows is really the pits, however I will guarantee the final result will be well worth it

Flooring

I really hate walking into a home to be greeted with filthy carpet or dusty floors with dog hairs and fur balls. It can instantly put a buyer off

• Firstly give the carpet a good vacuum and If you can spot clean the stained areas, however I would recommend that you hire a professional to steam clean all the carpets if they are heavily stained.
•  Air rugs
• Vacuum and freshen up with a carpet deodoriser
• Spot clean them if necessary.

For the timber floors

•  Give them a good vacuum then wash with a timber floor wash and polish if need be
•  Add some rugs in the heavy traffic areas, this helps prevent dirt being trodden into the floor

                                                      Awesome floorboards

                                                       Rugs for colour

Curtains and blinds

• Curtains and blinds can really make or break your room. Nothing worse than dirty smelly curtains and blinds.
•  Treat curtains very carefully launder them on the delicate cycle of the machine, or if they are too big for you to handle take them to the laundromat.
• Add some lavender oil to the washing cycle... instant spring smell
• As for the blinds, most fabrics can be spot cleaned with a mild soapy water (always test spot first)
• You will be amazed at how fresh your room will feel.
•  Don't forget to let as much natural sunlight in as possible.
•  Buyers love light filled rooms, let there be light when at all possible

                                                           Natural light

Bed linen

Whilst we frequently wash our bed linen throughout the year, its the doonas, pillows and cushions that we seem to forget about. Some can be laundered in your washing machine, however for the bigger items take them to your local laundromat and let them do all the hard work for you. Always check the washing instructions first

I say there is nothing like jumping into a freshly laundered bed! Ow yer love it!

                                                           So fresh

Get Fresh....Spring has sprung

Spring is a great time to give your home a spring clean as the sunshine reveals the built up grime and dust that has built up during the gloomy winter months.
Together this month lets go room by room and focus on one space at a time to get your place sparkling for the spring and ready in time for the open homes and inspections
