Cleaning your property

Eco-friendly house cleaning

We all know how important is to use Eco-friendly, pet-friendly, harmless products.

Cleaning a house you are intending to sell this is especially important, as you want to make your property available to accommodate as many people as possible.

This is obviously not always an easy task.

Although there are many products on the market with big Eco-labels on them, when you read the label at the back, you find out that they are not as safe as they claim to be.

Here are some ways to house ready for sale:

Replace the equipment

If you need to change a household appliance like a stove or dishwasher, you should find a good quality replacement, not only to please the potential buyers but increase property value.

Large appliances are great electricity consumers so try to replace them with Eco ones that save energy, and money to take that strain off potential buyers, and improve your trust with them.

Clean efficiently using Eco products

Instead of using the big name brand cleaners that contain toxic chemicals when you come to cleaning the property, windows or glass items, you can make your own cleaning mixture that is both eco-friendly and safe around children and pets.

You can even make your own mixture to polish the furniture with.

Redirecting your post

Redirecting your post is one of the most important things you need to do when moving house, if not done, or done incorrectly it can cause problems for longer than necessary.

Redirecting can seem like a difficult process, but it is a lot easier than you think.

All you need to do is go to your local post office and ask about their redirection services

Finding a removals company

top tips for finding a removals company
