We are all constantly looking for ways to improve our homes without breaking the budget. Below is a list and great place to start when looking to freshen up your space, whether marketing your home or just because!
1. Clean the top of your stove and the inside/outside of your oven. Invest under $7 for an oven liner and use it! Spills go on the liner, not the oven! The liner is easier to use than aluminum foil and can be rinsed and reused over and over.
2. Make sure your shower curtains are clean and dry. While glass doors are wet from your shower, use Greased Lightning or something similar to stop scum from building up. If you are a little behind on your shower cleaning, first wipe the door down with Old English Liquid Lemon Furniture Polish. You will get rid of any built up scum right away. The liquid polish is slippery, so be careful and don't spill any!
3. While we are on the subject of bathrooms, if you are marketing your property, make sure you put up all of your toiletries, etc. Clear off your counter completely. Nothing makes a bathroom look appealing to a potential buyer like clean, clear space.
4. Sweep, wash and vacuum all floors. If possible, go ahead and throw a wax or floor shiner down. Be careful not to over do the wax, though!
5. Sweep/pressure wash front door and porch area and keep front door wiped down. Curb appeal not only attracts potential buyers, but welcomes you home everyday!
There are literally a million small things you can do for little to no money that will improve your living area and certainly help sell your home. Just remember, less is best!
