With so much inventory to choose from, buyers are very particular and want a house to be move-in ready. I'm talking about squeaky clean bathrooms that are fresh and inviting, sparkling kitchens with appliances free of built up cooking gunk, clean carpets, windows, floors, a fresh, pleasant smell and general air of cleanliness.
Back in the day, my grandmothers did annual "spring cleaning". They went after the deep down dirt that had accumulated over the winter months and had been somewhat neglected during the weekly cleanings. This was a big job that took days and they always hired someone to help them. This practice results in a squeaky clean house that is comfortable and welcoming - something that buyers demand in today's market.
After you've lived in a house for a while, you no longer notice what someone seeing it for the first time does. Unless you are one of the rare people who keep an immaculate house, you should consider getting professional help with cleaning your home for resale.
A professional cleaner, such as Jeani's Cleaning (850 566-4759), in Tallahassee, FL, can do an amazing job and make almost any room, especially bathrooms and kitchens seem like new. Jeani has refined her methods and tools and is a perfectionist. I have seen her work turn reluctant buyers, who wouldn't make an offer until the house had been cleaned, into excited buyers who couldn't wait to move in.
