In The Kitchen
Counter Tops And Sinks Are The First Thing Buyers Look At

1) Keep counter tops clear of clutter and items that can be stored in a cabinet. This will make the kitchen appear larger!
2) Keep all dishes washed and put away.
3) Clean appliances.
4) To make the room look larger, remove any extensions from tables if not needed.
5) Store food items out-of-sight.
6) Clean around faucet for rust and deposits. If necessary, use a rust cleaner and an old toothbrush.
7) Keep sink clean.
8) We recommend the use of Old English on wood cabinets to diminish scratches and help them look new again.
