First impressions matter, especially when selling your home. While deep cleaning and staging are important, there are a few smaller, often-overlooked spots that can have a big impact on buyers. Over the years, I’ve noticed these quick, easy, and free fixes can make all the difference in creating a positive showing experience.

Here are five key areas to clean before your next showing:

  1. The Front Door Handle and Garage Door Handle
    Buyers interact with these immediately—make sure they’re spotless and inviting.
  2. Light Switches
    A quick wipe can eliminate smudges and show attention to detail.
  3. Microwave Handle
    This high-touch area can easily gather grime. Keep it looking fresh and clean.
  4. Sliding Glass Doors
    Pay special attention to pet slobber near dog doors—clean, clear glass makes a great impression.

These small details might seem minor, but they can make a world of difference in how buyers perceive your home. A clean and cared-for home signals that the property has been well-maintained.
