Whether it’s your home or office building, you’ve decided to sell and have realized that the building needs a deep clean first. You probably came across this article by searching for something like “cleaning services in San Diego CA”, and have stumbled across one of the best cleaning companies in the greater San Diego area.
Cleaning in preparation to sell is quite different from the routine maintenance cleaning that most of us are capable of doing ourselves. Deep cleaning floors may seem excessive to most, and it does come with it’s own challenges. Although it’s undeniable that deep cleaning your building prior to selling is an absolute necessity, as it can accentuate the curb-appeal.
Here is a look at the different rooms in which you should deep clean the floors, and how that can improve your chance of selling the building.
Bathroom
Regardless of whether your building is a home or an office, the bathroom’s are going to be one of the most frequently used rooms. Due to the nature of typical activities performed in a bathroom, our eyes often gloss over the grime on the grout and tiles. To somebody who is seeing the bathroom for the first time though, this dirt will stand out blaringly. Especially when the color scheme is the typical sterile white or off-white.
Hire a professional cleaning service to use a high-pressure rotary tool which is capable of extracting the dirt from the grout and tiles. Also be sure to replace any broken tiles and to clean the walls, ceiling, mirrors, and fixtures up to the same standard.
Kitchen
Unlike the bathroom, your kitchen floor may be made of any number of different flooring materials. These could be:
- Hardwood
- Laminate
- Vinyl
- Tile
- Concrete or Stone
Each of these requires a different style of deep clean so as to not damage the existing material. Hardwood floors may benefit from being waxed after cleaning, which can completely revitalize their look. Laminate and vinyl are prone to damage from heavier objects falling on them, as well as water damage. Be sure to look for any signs of damage on these styles of flooring, and consider replacing them prior to selling. Tiles can be cleaned using the same methods as those mentioned for bathrooms. Concrete or stone floors require a careful clean as they can be damaged quite easily.
Be sure to do your due diligence and only go with those experienced deep cleaning services in San Diego CA as they will have the knowledge and tools that the different flooring materials require.
Kids Bedrooms or Playrooms
Children are notorious for being messy, and can often hide and forget about the things which they sully. Our cleaning staff have told us a myriad of stories of forgotten sandwiches, spilt drinks, and all kinds of stuff being smeared into the carpets of kids’ rooms.
When looking to sell your building, ensure that everything is taken out of the children’s bedrooms and playrooms. This should expose any stains which may otherwise go unnoticed.
Lounge and Dining Room
As with children’s rooms, lounges and dining rooms are both prone to having bits of food or drink go unnoticed embedded in the carpet for extended periods of time. Be sure to empty the room of furniture and fixtures and make note of any stains or discolorations you notice on the carpet. Even the smallest stain can be noticed during an inspection done by someone with “fresh eyes”. Also, you may notice there are dents in the carpet where furniture has sat for a long time. There are ways you can try to remove these dents yourself, but making note of them and hiring a professional cleaning service will save you time and money.
Ask one of your friends, family members, colleagues, or neighbors to come over and help you spot any stains. You may be desensitized to seeing some of them, so having someone else can be of great help.
Outdoor Floor
The driveway and paths leading up to your house are just as important to clean as the floors inside your house. If you have a water blaster then you may find this part easy enough to do yourself, otherwise most professional cleaning companies will be able to offer this service.
Be careful when doing the water blasting yourself, as you can strip more than just dirt away with such a high pressure of water. If you’re not experienced in using one, then try watching some videos online, or simply hire a pro.
