Baths and Kitchens are the two most vital issues of concern in your house. The fittings can be expensive and replacements could be a head-ache. It’s best to keep these areas clean to avoid costly replacements. If you want to make your property look attractive to potential buyers then you have to maintain cleaning schedule and a proper cleaning kit. Keeping these areas grease and odor free is a challenge. Bleach and baking soda are two essential elements that help to keep the bathrooms and kitchen clean and look renewed even after heavy use.

Bleaching should be done with care as it often fades the color while cleaning the dirt and grease. Baking soda is less abrasive and can be used on steel surfaces and porcelain with a wet sponge to produce excellent results. It also deodorizes by eliminating the wet and bad odors.

Bleaching your toilet regularly is a good idea to make it look clean and healthy. Using both the agents remove hard stains and grime from marble and porcelain items. You can use burn buster stains and wax removers to clean stubborn stains without actually causing damage to your accessories and fittings.

You should be ready to complete the paperwork and legalities for sale of your property. Obtaining permits, contracts and receipts, insuring the property against damages require preplanning so that your renovation is not put to a halt after it starts. Monitoring the progress of the renovation work is equally important.

Last but not the least; prepare a budget that is stretchable. Renovation often demands a little overspending or unexpected spending. You budget should be flexible enough to incorporate such changes.
