With the house market soaring, any expert will tell you that you’ve made the right call in choosing now as your time to sell. Auctions have been going off recently, and there’s a good chance you’ll get a fair bit more than what you’re asking!

But let’s not get ahead of ourselves: to get the absolute best price for your home, you’ve got to show it in the absolute best light. This way, people will see the true charm of your home, and will be willing to pay that little bit extra for it.

Today, the legends at Reliable Window Cleaning tell us the top 3 ways to prepare your home for auction day.

1) Spring clean

Your home could be as cute as a button, but nobody’s going to be able to see that cuteness if it’s marred with clutter. Spring cleaning is one of the most important ways to prepare your home for auction day. It’s great that you’ve still got your furniture inside your home for auction day, so that bidders can have a glimpse of its atmosphere, but too much stuff is actually a bad thing.

That’s why we recommend de-cluttering the home before the big day. This means getting rid of furniture you rarely use and taking care of those random boxes in the garage which are filled with stuff you’re ‘saving for that rainy day’. If you have an excessive amount of junk lying around, you can always call one of those junk removal companies to come take it away for you.

2) Window clean

We’ve said it once and we’ll say it again: your windows are the gateway to the soul of your home! They allow people to take their first glimpse inside the home, and appreciate your outdoor area when they’re inside your home. If your windows are dirty and streaked, it tarnishes the overall vibe of the house, symbolising that it hasn’t been well-cared for or well-maintained – even though we both know that’s not true.

Giving the team at Reliable Window Cleaning a call is one of the best moves before auction day. The tiny cost of professional window cleaning could equate to thousands of gain in the winning bid.

3) Front yard

The front yard is one of the first things a prospective buyer sees upon arrive at your home. This is what we call ‘curb appeal’ – how appealing your home is when looking at it from the street. Make sure your front yard is looking schmick before auction day – lawns mowed, trees pruned and driveway swept.

It’s a warm but cloudy day outside, so you decide to clean your windows. You grab some Windex and an old newspaper, just like your old man taught you. You start wiping away, and you surprise yourself with what a great job you’re doing. You finish up after an hour’s work and those windows are looking immaculate. You head inside, grab a drink and head back out to admire your work and, what do you know, they’re completely streaked.

Why, why, WHY does this always seem to happen, no matter how careful you are with your window cleaning? Well, we’ve got the right bunch of legends to answer that question for you. Here, the pros at Reliable Window Cleaning tell you how to get streak-free windows, so that you never experience that post-window-clean facepalm ever again.

Use distilled water

Ever walked past distilled water in the supermarket and wondered what on earth people use it for? Well, it can be good for cleaning windows if you know what you’re doing. Hard water that comes out of the tap can often have minerals like magnesium and calcium in it, contributing to the streaks that you’re so annoyingly familiar with. Distilled water, on the other hand, doesn’t contain any minerals, leading to a crisper finish.

Avoid paper towels

Not only are paper towels kind of wasteful and unsustainable, they’re also poor for cleaning windows. So, if you’ve ever wanted an excuse to get rid of the paper towels, now’s your chance! Paper towels are renowned for leaving those little, lint-covered streaks which make your windows look terrible and actually make it harder to clean off next time. They’re basically your windows’ worst enemy. Instead, opt for a nice microfibre cloth to wipe your windows down, or you can also go for the old-man method of newspapers. While they’re not exactly cutting-edge technology, they’re not too bad as a cleaning tool.

Buff it out

Nope, we’re not talking about the rainbow wheel of death on your MacBook, or getting buffer at the gym – we’re talking about buffing your windows to finish off the job. This can be done with a car chamois that’s clean and dry.

Hire a professional

We’ve all looked at someone do something impressive and, secretly to ourselves, thought, ‘I could give that a crack’. Whether you’re at a footy match and a player misses a 50m penalty, or you’re caught up watching ‘Greatest Skateboarding Stacks’ on YouTube, it’s easy to think you could do better from the comfort of your seat – trust us, we’re guilty of those thoughts too!

But more often than not, it’s a lot harder to do what those people are doing than it looks. Same goes for window cleaning. Professional window cleaners make it look easy but, the reality is, it’s not always a walk in the park.

Here are 3 top ways that a professional cleaner makes a difference, and why you should consider hiring one if you haven’t already:

1) The right gear

Everyone has that one mate who has ‘all the gear and no idea’. Whether they’re taking up photography, tennis or homebrewing beer, it’s easy to get caught up in buying the gear, when they should actually be focussing on technique and improving their skills.

However, this is where professional cleaners have a clear strong point. Not only do they have the ‘idea’, but they have the gear to boot. Professional cleaning equipment makes a world of difference when cleaning windows, allowing professionals to hit the super out-of-reach areas and tight spots that would otherwise be impossible to clean.

2) The skills

Professional cleaners have mad skills, as they say! This is partly thanks to the proper training they’ve received prior to starting work, and partly due to the hours of practice they get while working on the job. A good cleaner should always be looking to further hone their skills in the craft of cleaning, and that’s where they can make all the difference. It helps them stand out from the crowd and attract more business, so it’s not only good for the homeowner, but good for themselves too!

3) Speed and efficiency

Ever watched a window cleaner do their thing and wonder, how the heck do they manage to do all that in the space of an hour or two? Speed and efficiency are two areas of professional cleaning that makes an enormous difference. While a non-professional may take 4 hours to clean the whole house, a seasoned pro might be able to do it in half that time. Professional cleaners master the art of working effectively but also quickly, allowing them to finish up and move on to the next job.

So, now you know why professional cleaning makes such a big difference – and that’ll help keep the ‘I-could-do-that’ thoughts at bay!
