The Bath Room – Asset Or Gremlin When You Want To Find Somebody To “buy My House Quickly”

If we truly are serious about attracting someone to “Buy my house quickly”, we must ensure that every room is supporting us. The bath room is the one room in the house that will either be one hundred percent for you or one hundred percent against you.

A nice fresh, warm, uncluttered and sparkling clean bath room with matching accessories is a place where your viewer can imagine indulging themselves and bathing away all the cares and stress of the day. It calls out to the viewer “By my house” and instils the feeling that this will be a sought after house, and so gives a sense of urgency in order to avoid missing out on this house.

On the other hand, allow the bath room to let you down on just one of the areas mentioned above, and it turns around and becomes a foe, working like a desperate and callous sitting tenant, determined to scuttle any chance you have of making a deal.

Unless your selling to one of the firms such as Cash house buyers who advertise We buy homes, the bath room needs to be perfect. If it feels cold or damp or if there’s even a tiny bit of mould on the bath sealant or lime scale in the shower, etc etc, the deal could be brought to a grinding halt straight away.

Happily, it’s extremely easy to make your bath room work for you. Start with emptying the bath room of every jar, bottle, tube, canister, accessory, mat, in fact everything that can be moved.

Now, the tiles, mirrors, bath, washbasins and wc all need to be washed in 2 ways. Firstly, use an acid de-scaling type cleaner to thoroughly wash away all dirt and lime scale. It’s important to wash away the lime scale before using bleach, because bleach simply whitens the lime scale, but leaves it in place dulling all the surfaces and just waiting to harbour more bacteria and mould as soon as you start to use the bath room once more.

After the acid wash, rinse thoroughly, and you’ll be astounded at the sparkly clean finish, Now you need to apply bleach to any areas where you see discolouration due to mould etc. Take a good look at all the grouting and sealant around the bath, wash basin, shower etc. If any bits are badly discoloured by mould, strip them out and replace them. If any parts are only lightly affected, just use a good strong thick bleach and leave it to work for half an hour before scrubbing then rinsing clean.

Check plug holes for lumps of hair and other detritus, then rinse and dry all the surfaces using a chamois leather or microfibre cloth. This will ensure all the surfaces are streak free and shiny.

Don’t put back any personal hygiene and sanitary products. Keep them in cupboards. Do put in matching towels and a couple of bars of expensive looking soap. If the room looks a little dull or bland, think about adding a simple shiny green potted plant.
