If you’re planning to sell your home soon, you may be looking for some quick and easy tips on how to declutter and organise your home.

Did you know that a cleaner and more organised home can increase the value of the property?

That’s right! Today we are going to be listing some of our top tips for Spring Cleaning your home in 2023.

Declutter and Organise

This is a vital and great step in starting your spring clean. A clear and clean room maximises space and helps potential buyers to envision their lifestyle in your property. Investing in some good-quality storage is key to declutter. Then sorting through what you own room by room will make organising easier. Organising into what you want to keep and what you want to either dispose of whether this is in the bin or donating to charity or family/friends.

Do a Full Deep Clean

After decluttering, we recommend deep cleaning each room. First impressions are so important, and they definitely can be a make or break when it comes to decision-making. This is exactly what most buyers look for, a clean and well-maintained home. The little new owners or renters have to do when they move in the better! If you’re pushed for time, you could always make your own DIY cleaning formulas using natural ingredients such as lemons, baking soda, and white vinegar. Don’t forget areas that often get overlooked such as skirting boards and door frames.

TIP: Air out the home from any strong cleaning product fumes or cooking smells. Reed diffusers or electric air fresheners are great products to keep your home smelling fresh.

Home Staging

A relatively new concept of selling your home is home staging. This is a technique used by American homeowners and is now popular across Britain. Here are a few ways to effectively stage your home:

·         Dress your dining table with nice crockery or a tablecloth.

·         Adding touches such as vases of fresh flowers.

·         Safely light candles around the home.

·         Decorative touches such as bed throws and cushions.
