Chuck all the clutter in bin bags or boxes (label them from which room you got the clutter from), and shove the bags in a spare room/garage. Explain you have been sorting stuff for the charity shops, and hope they can see around them.:cool:
You really do need clear surfaces and floor space to make your home feel as large as possible.0 -
Start now and do an hour 'blitz' clean - you will get loads done in that time if you stay focussed.
Just make sure bathroom is clean, kitchen surfaces clean and open windows tomorrow
If you have a lots of stuff - can you stash it somewhere out of sight? If you have a car this maybe an option?
A pain I know I used to spend 4 hours cleaning for my viewings (and my house is immaculate most of the time anyway) but it will be worth it when you get that offer.0 -
thats really good advice but im looking for someone with a stockpile of elbow grease that needs using up ha ha0

i notice my kitchen surfaces are getting a lot of attention have you all seen them or something0

...don't buy lots of fancy cleaning products, buy a cheap bottle of zoflora, it's great, cleans and disinfects, and leaves a nice smell, try Flowershop - my favourite.
If your sinks are a bit whiffy, put a bit of neat zoflora down the plughole plus a splash of hot water, so that it sits in the U bend and wafts up good smells.
Oh, and scrub your loo......guaranteed one viewer will need to use it, but for viewing keep the seat down.0 -
Hehe - I actually love the idea of going into someone's house and cleaning it. Did it whilst my grandad (at the request of my auntie) was on holiday as he had become a bit messy!0

hope they dont need the loo no roll left oops0

love and cleaning are 2 words never to be used in 1 sentence its wrong very wrong ha ha0
