When you think of all the things that go on in your home, it’s no wonder rental and home purchase agreements both have clauses requiring a professional cleaning to prepare occupancy for the next residents.
There are far too many germs and bacteria left behind on surfaces to not insist on having a clean home. However, at Maid4Condos, we say it makes sense to have that same level of clean using deep cleaning services Toronto trusts when preparing your home for sale. Here’s why:
Calming the Fears of Germaphobes
Although not everyone is a germaphobe, you can count on the average person becoming extra-sensitive about the idea of germs when shopping for a home. There’s really no way around it.
By investing in deep cleaning services in Toronto when preparing your home for sale, you’ll ensure your home is beyond reproach even to the most obsessive germaphobes out there.
Showing Off Your Home’s Strong Points
Home buyers sometimes get caught up in the less important details when they first view a home. They’re looking for all those designer features that will make them proud to entertain guests in their new home.
That includes things like trendy backsplashes, impressive countertops, designer cabinets, high-end flooring, and more.
As a result, you need to deep clean all of these surfaces to show off your home’s strong points, so people see the feature, instead of the caked-on, obviously lived-in wear and tear, grime, and crustiness that instantly devalues your home’s selling points.
Appealing to Buyers’ Senses
Deep cleaning services in Toronto tackle every square inch of your home, providing an all-around clean that just doesn’t compare to a basic cleaning.
Even if you’re a germaphobe intent on scrubbing away germs and bacteria obsessively, there’s something about a deep cleaning that tends to stand out from any cleaning you can perform on your own.
It makes things smell undeniably fresh, look sparkly clean, and feel smooth to the touch without any stickiness or grime.
Removing Musty, Mouldy, and Unpleasant Odours
As mentioned above, a deep cleaning gets rid of odours. While there are lots of cleaners available on the market today with built-in air fresheners, they only mask odours.
A deep cleaning removes the source of the odours including mildew, mould, caked-on dirt, pet hair, smoke residue, and more. You just can’t beat that level of odour removal.
Making Bathrooms Feel Newer
You can’t get around the fact that bathrooms will always feel used. It’s a room we all use every day and often, which means it is under the most scrutiny when buyers are touring your home.
A deep cleaning addresses dirt and build-up so that your tiles, fixtures, and tub have that brand-new sparkling clean look and feel. As noted, deep cleaning also helps tackle those odour-causing things like mildew and mould, so your bathroom also smells clean. You’ll know everything is clean, including:
- Bathtub and shower enclosure
- Inside, outside, and behind the toilet
- Lights, mirrors, sink, and countertops
- Ceiling fan cover
- Light switches and door knobs
- Garbage bin
- Floors
- Baseboards
Making Kitchens Feel Eat-Off-the-Floor Clean
We all know that buyers view the kitchen as the heart of the home, but they also plan to prepare their food in this area. They will be scrutinizing every surface, opening every cabinet and drawer, and inspecting the appliances with a very critical eye.
As a result, you need to know your kitchen will pass all these tests with that eat-off-the-floor kind of clean that helps chase away thoughts of salmonella. Everything is addressed including:
- Emptying the dishwasher
- Microwave, inside and out
- Stove top
- Fridge front
- Backsplash, counter tops, and cupboard fronts
- Sink
- Light switches and door knobs
- Garbage and recycling bins
- Floors
- Baseboards
- Window ledges
Creating a Welcoming Living Space
Creating a welcoming living space isn’t just about staging with the right furniture and paint colour on the walls. It also includes creating a clutter-free, dust-free, and crumb-free home.
A deep cleaning ensures the living space feels ready, and shows you take good care of your home. This includes making sure the following cleaning tasks are taken care of:
- General tidying
- Tidy sofa seating
- Table tops, picture frames, and window ledges
- Clean mirrors and dust ornaments
- Wipe telephones, switches, and door knobs
- Vacuum and mop floors
- Wipe baseboards
- Clean under and behind furniture
- Vacuum sofa seating
Removing Evidence of Pets
Although Canadians owned about 8.1 million cats and 7.7 million dogs in 2020, people don’t want to smell your pets! Deep cleaning addresses common surfaces that can hold pet odours, including flooring and wall-to-wall carpets.
As a result, you can remove all evidence of your pets, so people with allergies don’t feel turned off by lingering smells of cat and dog odours.
Passing the Appliance Inspection
No one wants to buy a home with broken, filthy, and uncared-for appliances. A deep cleaning addresses appliance cleaning needs, ensuring they’ll pass that initial inspection by buyers.
You want to know that when a potential buyer opens the dryer, for example, they won’t find a dirty lint trap. You also want to feel confident the oven and fridge will be up to snuff without any obvious grunge, grease, slime, or caked-on foods.
Clean appliances speak to your commitment to maintaining your assets, so buyers will feel more confident they’ll work when they move in.
