Here are some ideas to make your bathroom sparkle for a potential buyer.
Next to the kitchen, the bathroom is the room that gets the most scrutiny from potential Buyers. Some inexpensive designer tricks can make your bathroom look like a million dollars.
Here are some tips especially for the bathroom:
• Always empty bathroom trash cans before showings. Also, put the trash can under the vanity to clear floor space - you want the bathroom to appear as big as possible.
• A new shower curtain is a great investment - very little money for a big impact.
• Things like toilet cleaners, plungers, and hampers add clutter; put them away while you're selling your house.
• Keep all reading material out of sight in the bathroom.
• Place personal items (such as hairdryers, makeup kits, and hairbrushes) in cupboards or drawers.
• Hang matching new towels; go for the best-looking towels you can. Like shower curtains, they add a nice impact.
• Remove everything from the countertop, except pretty soap sets, candles or fresh flowers.
• Check the faucets for leaks, drips or disrepair. Repair or buy new faucets if they are leaky or worn out.
• New silicone beading can do wonders for your shower, tub and sink area...especially if the caulking is stained or cracking.
• Shine your faucets and knobs and use cleaner to prevent water spots.
• Keep your shower and tub area spotless. Buyers will often look behind the curtain, so make sure the area looks as good as it can. Keep shampoos and soaps to a minimum.
• Scrub tiles and bleach the grout so it all sparkles.
• Replace or paint the vanity if it shows excessive wear and tear. Replacing knobs can give an updated look to an older vanity.
Also, for safety: don't leave prescription medication in obvious locations.
