Touch up grout in bathrooms, kitchens, and anywhere else that you have grouted tiles – grout whitener works great for white grout, especially in the showers. For all other grout, clean thoroughly with a peroxide/baking soda mixture (3 parts peroxide to one part baking soda).

Keep the thermostat at a comfortable level for showings – this is not a time to save money on heating and cooling. A home that is too warm in the summer or too cold in the winter will lead buyers to believe that the A/C and furnace do not operate as they should. As well, the more comfortable a buyer is in your home, the more time they will spend there.
Staging Tip # 92
Bathroom soap dispensers – do not use the plastic, branded dispensers – while some of the fancier soaps, such as Bath and Body smell great, they are not the most attractive. Replace with decorative dispensers, or in the case of Bath and Body, check out these covers:

Staging Tip #93
Remove all artificial air fresheners – these can be overpowering and give buyers the impression that you’re covering something up. For a natural alternative, fill a baking pan with approximately 1/2” of water, add cinnamon and orange slices, and bake at 350 degrees for approximately half an hour prior to an open house or showing.
