First Impressions Count When Trying to Sell Your Home - Clean Your Windows!
From touching up peeling and cracked paint to tidying up the garden and cleaning your windows, attention to little details can make all the difference when you are selling your house. In fact, research by finder.com.au has found that homeowners lose an average of $90,452 if the house lacks street appeal.
Make sure you make the best possible impression on your potential buyers by ensuring you take care of the simple and inexpensive things that can really add to a property. One of the things we can help out with at Coastal Window Cleaning is ensuring your windows are sparkling clean. Here’s why clean windows matter.
Highlight the View
Any good view that is visible outside a window is sure to look more spectacular if the windows are clean. This is essential if a view from the windows is one of the selling points, e.g. a two storey home overlooking a beach. If there are hard water spots or etching, buyers will be looking at that rather than appreciating the view.
Maximising and Evening the Flow of Light
A bright home that lets in a lot of natural light is always important to many buyers. While this is ultimately limited by the amount and size of windows you have, you can maximise the amount of light that gets through by ensuring your windows are sparkling clean.
You would be shocked at just how much dust builds up, water stains, filmy residue, etchings, and other imperfections can actually reduce the amount of light that enters the room. A professional window cleaning is the best way of ensuring sunlight is not partially blocked.
Should You DIY?
Cleaning windows seems like something you could easily do yourself. For example, you can remove hard water stains using a mixture of water and vinegar. This involves soaking paper towels in the mixtures and resting them on the windows to soften up the mineral deposits. After a long period of soaking, you can scrub the stains away using a microfiber cloth. This process might have to be repeated a few times.
Many homeowners don’t want to undertake such a lengthy DIY process when a professional can ensure the job is done efficiently and right. Some windows in houses can simply be too high to reach and clean properly yourself. There is also the risk of making things worse, as dust in particular can scratch windows if it isn’t removed right and just rubbed around.
