The Bathrooms

 

 We know, we know. You dread cleaning the bathroom. Well,

 who doesn’t? Scrubbing bath tubs, sinks and toilets is hard

 work. You have no, choice, however in cleaning your humble

 commodes. You can make the process move more quickly

 though, by following a checklist:

 

 • CLEAN toilets, sinks and flooring to get rid of mineral

 build-up and rust spots, mildew and any other messes.

 (make sure that you have plenty of ventilation when

 using bleach or other strong smelling chemicals).

                                  Clean bathroom

 • Make sure the lights all work. Replace any dim light bulbs.

 • Replace a mildewed shower curtain with a chic coordinated

 neutral-colored one, and hide tooth brushes, soap and other

 personal items. Your potential buyers do not want to think

 of you grooming yourself in their future house!

 

 • Replace faucets if necessary with attractive, newer faucets.

 • Fixtures should match. If you have silver sink faucets,

 match the same silver on your light fixtures, towel holders,

 toilet roll holders and knobs on your tub.

 

 • Make sure the towels are fresh and that soap looks new.

 • Make sure you have a new roll of toilet tissue out.

 • Use a fabric skirt to hide unsightly plumbing.

 • If you have any sliding glass enclosures, make sure

 they are completely spotless and free of hard water stains.

 

 • Remove any bath mats or kiddie stick-ons from the tub.

 • If possible, use plush bath towels and rugs, and coordinate

 with solid colors. Match with accessories on the counter.

 • Install new toilet and seat covers to replace old ones.

 

 • For a fresh scent, place a fresh vase of flowers or a bowl of

 potpourri in bathrooms.

 • Remove any prescription medicines from the medicine

 cabinet.                                             clean bathroom

 • Use a cute lamp or modern light fixture to enhance your

 bathrooms look.

 • Re-grout if necessary.

 • Keep the light on and windows open (or curtains open if it

 is too cold outside to open the windows) when showing home.

 Do all of these things and your bathroom will be READY FOR 

THE SALE!

Tara: These are good tips for any sellers, not just FSBO's!

Yes, I thought so. This is all a part of my FSBO marketing. I'm going to start using it for my listing appointments also. It's a work in progress.

Thanks
