Kitchen Readiness Checklist

Remove

Make your kitchen look more spacious by removing everything from the counter like the coffeemaker, toaster, flour container, etc.
Get rid of kitchen odors by pouring hot salt water down the drain twice a week. Also, grind some lemon rind in the disposal unit if you have one.
Remove notes, pictures, and coupons from the refrigerator door.
Make sure the inside of your cabinets are organized and clean. Store non-essential items elsewhere to make the cabinets look more spacious.
Personal items, phones, notepads, pens, etc. Store in a closed basket under the sink if necessary.
Kids’ toys.
Remove extra items leaves from your dining room table to make the room look larger.
Rubbish bins, cleansers, etc.
Wallpaper, wallpaper borders, or stencilling. Repaint in a neutral colour.
Bars of soap. The bottled liquid soap stays looking new and doesn’t get gooey or slimy.

Your eat-in kitchen and dining room should have a table and chairs in it to showcase the room’s purpose.
If your cabinets show wear and tear, you might want to paint them. A simple trick to update the look of your cabinet doors is to replace your current knobs with new ones.
Keep the exotic spices and fish to a minimum when cooking the night before a showing. Work towards achieving a “clean” smell
Grout and ceramics. Remove any signs of mould, rust, or stains.
Floors, walls, and windows.
Light fixtures.
Sink, taps, dishrack. Repair or replace
