When you are selling your home, a spring cleaning is in order regardless of the time of year. Clean places that you would not normally think to clean, such as dusting around the trim of doors and shining door knobs. Clean all the light bulbs, so they show as much light as possible, remember to turn the lights on during every showing and open house. Also, have the carpets professionally cleaned; this will help to eliminate any odors in the house from pets or cooking. Potential buyers are sure to notice your extra work.
