Dispose of trash as soon as possible. There’s no point in going through the exercise and then letting it all sit in piles. You’re just creating a bigger mess than when you started out.
Buyers want a spacious and organized laundry area, but don’t expect them to linger in this area for too long. If they do, it’s because they eye the appliances. The laundry room is not a deal breaker. You do, however, have to remove the slightest trace of sweating and old socks. This room should have good ventilation.
Mistake #8: Downplaying the importance of cleaning. Buyers are about to spend a lot of money to buy a house. They deserve a clean house. We think they’re right.
