Floors and dust



Nothing worse than dust and a dirty floor it can instantly put a buyer off.

Dust before hoovering or cleaning the floor. Try feather or lambswool dusters, especially extendible ones for reaching above window and door casings and into corners. Household rags are invaluable for jobs requiring a damp cloth – natural fibres work best. 

 Buy mops with a squeeze mechanism (great for vinyl, linoleum or ceramic tile floors) and a decent-size heavy-duty bucket one with a measuring scale, helps get soap-to-water ratios correct.

Furniture fabric


Go through the house and strip and remake all the beds, wash any pillows, cushions, throw rugs or furniture blankets. Brush furniture surfaces with a vacuum extension if needed. You will be surprised at how fresh and clean everything will look.

Lets get cleaning

Getting Started 

If you’re doing all the cleaning on your own, you won’t be able to get it all done in one day, so put together a check-list. Tackle sections of the house for a really thorough clean, then you’ll only have to do the basics to maintain order.
