• Paint or wash the exterior of the house (including window casings, shutters, and doors).
• Wash the windows inside and out.

• Wash the walls where paint is not appropriate (i.e. wall paper, paneling).
• Wash all floors and bathroom tiles.
• Shampoo dirty carpets.
• Get rid of clutter. Clean out your closets, garage, basement and attic. Use self storage if necessary.
• Replacing air filters will help keep the dust down.

• Get rid of any bad smells in your home.
• Pay attention to pet or cigarette odors.
