8 Clutter Removing Tips for Bathrooms when Selling Your Home

• Remove contents of all cabinets and drawers. Clean cabinets and drawers. Discard expired or no longer used items. Put back items you regularity use neatly, with labels facing forward. Box and store backup supplies elsewhere. As with closets, less is better, as it makes cabinets and drawers look spacious if stuff isn't overcrowded.
  
• Remove reading materials and other non-essential items.
  
• Keep garbage can empty and preferably hidden in a cabinet.
  
• Remove anything that doesn't belong in a bathroom.
  
• Keep surfaces clear of personal care products and belongings. If some items must remain in view, keep them neat.
  
• Keep medicine in cabinet, not out.
  
• Remove bath toys.
  
• Remove or store medical equipment when buyers are coming. Buyers do not want to buy a home they associate with illness and it can make them uncomfortable.
  

11 Steps to Organize Your Bedroom to Sell Your Home!

Master Bedroom

The master bedroom should exude romance and peacefulness; how to make that happen will be addressed in Step 9. Therefore, this is no place for things like a television, exercise equipment, or family photographs.

• If dirty clothes must be in the room, keep them in a covered hamper in a closet.
  
• There should be nothing but air under your bed! Stuff under a bed is visually and energetically unappealing and makes it appear as if you don't have enough storage space.
  
• Make more room in your closet by removing and storing out of season clothing. Donate or sell what you have not worn in one or two years. Repair or discard torn clothing and shoes. Arrange like clothes together; casual shirts, work shirts, casual pants, etc.; it looks really nice and you'll have the bonus of discovering how easy it is to find everything! There are additional tips on how to deal with your closets in the entryway section, see page 20.
  
• While buyers probably won't look in your dressers, you may as well use this opportunity to get rid of clothing you don't wear. Neatly fold what clothing remains. Pack and store out of season clothing.
  
• Keep only personal items in the bedroom, if possible. If you must store paperwork, keep it neat and hidden in a closet or drawers.
  
• Remove photographs of family and you as a couple.
  
• Sort and organize jewelry. A jewelry box on a dresser is fine. Sell or donate what you do not like. Any valuable jewelry should be stored in a safe in the bank or in your home, as you never know who will be going through your home, and it could get stolen.
  
• Remove any stuffed animals, dolls or other collections.
  
• Remove personal items on dressers or tabletops.
  
• Remove exercise equipment.
  
• Remove television and computer.
