In addition to making a good first impression, a proper showing cleaning facilitates things for both you and the realtor. You won't have to spend as much time on daily cleaning during the selling period, and the realtor gets the best possible conditions to showcase the property positively. That's why we've put together a handy checklist with the most important tips for cleaning before a showing.

Showing Cleaning Checklist

Hall
To create a more spacious feeling, clear away shoes, jackets, and everyday items like umbrellas, bags, and gloves. An airy hall feels larger and more inviting. Don't forget to vacuum, mop, and clean any mirrors.

Bedroom
Make the bed carefully and ensure the pillows are arranged nicely. Small details, like cut flowers in vases on the nightstands, give a homely touch. Pull back the curtains and let the room appear bright and inviting. Be sure to vacuum around and under the bed where dust tends to collect.

Living Room & Dining Room
In the living room and dining room, the most important thing is to remove any unnecessary items that might disturb the overall impression. One tip for showing is to keep surfaces clear of everyday clutter and unnecessary decorations.

Kitchen
Make sure the kitchen is sparkling clean. Empty the fridge of old food that could give off unpleasant odors and wipe down shelves and drawers. Put away anything that doesn't need to be out, and wipe all surfaces, including the stove. Take out the trash and clean the trash can thoroughly to avoid unwanted smells during the showing.

Bathroom
Thoroughly clean the sink, toilet, shower walls, and bathtub. Fold towels neatly and replace them with clean ones to give a fresh impression. Also, make sure to polish the mirror and ventilate properly to avoid unwanted odors.

Homestyling Before Showing
With a few simple details, your home can feel even more inviting. A bowl of green apples, lemons, or grapes on the kitchen table creates a fresh and inspiring atmosphere. You can also place herbs along with a nice cutting board or mortar in the kitchen.

To top it all off, you can use scent sticks or scented candles with neutral and fresh scents, like cotton or lavender. Avoid overly strong or spicy scents that might overpower the room.
