Are the walls free from grimy handprints and dirty splashes of drinks and food? Can you see through the windows, or are they covered in dirt? Is the trim along the floors and doorways clean, or is it time for a fresh coat of paint?

Take time to clean everything that isn't perfect. Don't try to do it all at once, but take your time, and soon, you'll have a sparkly lovely home to put on the market.
