Remove
All Staples, Nails, and Stickers
Preliminary
to your cleaning process, you need to remove any nails, staples, or stickers
that you might have put up on the walls. Make sure that you do this smartly, or
you could end up damaging the paint coating on your walls. Use some paint
thinner sparingly for the stickers if you have to. Once you've completely
stripped everything off of the walls, you can go about cleaning them without
worry.
Plan
Your Work and Start Cleaning the Interiors
Before
you begin, take a look around and identify the areas you need to tackle first.
The kitchen and bathroom are usually the dirtiest, so it's better to start off
with those. An all-purpose cleaner works well if you want to remove caked-up
dirt from your sink or bathtub. If the stain refuses to budge, try using a
stronger bleach-based cleaner. In order to get rid of those sticky, aerated oil
stains, try cleaning it with mineral oil and wiping it with paper towels. In
all probability, your walls might also be very dirty. For this, you can use a
TSP substitute. A TSP substitute is used to prep your walls for painting, but
it also does a pretty good job of cleaning it.
Sweep
and Clean the Exterior
After
you've cleaned the interior, it's time to move on to the exterior. Be sure to
sweep and mop the balcony if you have one. You will probably have to sweep away
all the dry leaves and dust from outside your house. Make it presentable, and
check to see if all the lights outside are working.
Make
The Necessary Repairs
In
most cases, you will have to make a few repairs, such as for a broken curtain
blind or some damage to the walls caused by nails. Make sure that these minor
repairs are taken care of before the inspection.
