We continue our spring cleaning theme in preparation for selling your home this week. This week we deal with a very important feature of every house: the windows.

The windows of a home are what invite people in, makes them curious what’s happening inside, entices them to see more. If the windows are splattered up and dirty, it detracts from the overall appeal of the house and gives the impression of how the home is taken care of. Make sure your windows are sparkling clean prior to placing your home on the market. 

There are major benefits to having the windows to your home professionally cleaned prior to listing it for sale:
It allows natural light to flow into the house. Many buyers find homes with a lot of natural light most attractive. The light that is let in on your home will depend on how many windows there are and the size of them. You want to make that light stand out as much as possible.
Windows provide a magnificent view from inside the house. Much like a picture frame, your windows frame the view from the inside. If you have a terrific view from inside the house, you want to have clean windows in order to enhance that view for those looking to buy. You want the buyers to see clear through the window to the view with no disruption from water spots or debris from neglect.

A clean window is going to function better. Windows are potentially the worst place for dust and debris to collect due to all of the grooves and ledges that go around the frame and glass. With a proper professional clean you will have no type of leaves, cobwebs, grime, or insect bodies looming on the frames or stuck down in the tracks. This ensures that a prospective buyer who wants to see how the windows raise and lower, will see smooth operation.

Get those windows sparkling for the summer evenings, the summer sunshine will show up dust that one might not normally notice. Clean windows will reap rewards in helping achieve the best price for your home.
