A full clean ahead of the first open inspection sets the baseline, kitchens, bathrooms and living areas presented spotless, with particular attention to smells, cooking odours, pet smells and mustiness are quickly noticed by buyers walking through an unfamiliar space.
Between inspections, a lighter maintenance clean, floors, surfaces, and a quick check of bathrooms, keeps the property consistently presentable without needing a full clean before every single walkthrough, particularly useful across a multi-week campaign with several open inspections scheduled.
It's also worth cleaning areas buyers specifically inspect closely, oven interiors, under-sink cupboards and garage spaces are common places people look when genuinely considering an offer, not just browsing, so they're worth the same attention as the main living spaces.
