Quick Fix Cleaning Checklist







“Our realtor just called and someone is coming to view our house in 15 minutes!” 

Oh, perfect

Okay, it's never really THAT bad (except the one time that it was). But ever since we put our house up for sale, it does seem like people always come to check out our house on days where we barely made it out the door with our clothes and car keys. 

I especially hate getting those calls at work. All I can think about is how many dishes I left piled up in the sink or how the dirty laundry basket is overflowing into the rest of our closet. 

It can be really stressful having people walking through your house. Knowing that they're opening every cabinet and closet. Looking. Staring. Judging.


Luckily, most potential buyers give about a day’s notice to get your house in decent shape. Here is a 15-20 Minute Checklist that I put together for those last minute notifications:

-All trash / recycling out
-Run / unload dishwasher (wash dishes)
-Clear off / straighten all surfaces*
(counter, desk, dresser, shelves, table)
-Make all beds
-Spray and wipe down counters/sinks
-Clean bathtubs and toilets
-Dust surfaces 
-Sweep / Swiffer / Vacuum floors


This is a super quick, last minute checklist of the major things that NEED to be done before the house is presented to potential buyers. Just do the best that you can... Something is better than nothing! 

Also, if some things in the house don’t seem to "belong" anywhere, do not cram it into a closet or drawer! People will look there! Believe me, they will even check the washer and dryer. 

If you must (and I definitely have... more than once), throw all of your "homeless" items into the trunk of your car and take them with you! 

At least you’ll already have them one step closer to Goodwill :)

  1. I would like to thank Ultimate Life Clinic for reversing my father's Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). My father’s ALS condition was fast deteriorating before he started on the ALS Herbal medicine treatment from Ultimate Life Clinic. He was on the treatment for just 6 months and we never thought my father will recover so soon. He has gained some weight in the past months and he is able to walk with no support. You can reach them through there website www.ultimatelifeclinic.com

  2. I'm here to let everyone know that there is a cure for HERPES1&2. The doctors have succeeded in letting people living with Herpes know that there is no cure for Herpes and they have been enslaved to the antiviral and other supplementary Orthodox medicine just to help suppress the virus and not a cure. I got diagnose of herpes1 January this year 2021 and i did not believe in my doctor that no cure for herpes rather i went into research online and I was introduce to Dr Osato a herbal healer by a blogger who also narrated Her story online on how she was cured of Herpes after using Dr Osato Herbal Medicine. I got the herbal medicine from Dr Osato and made use of it as I was instructed. I went to the clinic for a checkup after two weeks of using the herbal product. My result came out Negative and I was booked another appointment after 30days to confirm my result and the test still showed Negative and I was given the green light that I am fully free from herpes. All thanks to God for using this Great herbalist to heal me. You can contact Dr Osato by email: osatoherbalcure@gmail.com or WhatsApp +2347051705853. His website is osatoherbalcure.wordpress.com. I have promised to keep sharing my testimony so people will know that there is a cure for herpes.
