It's important to realize that we all spend a lot of time in the bathrooms of our homes, whether it is getting ready for work or taking a relaxing bath after a long, hard day.

When potential buyers walk through your house they will scrutinize the quality and environment of the bathrooms. It is ultimately important to prepare each and every one of the bathrooms in your home for showing.

Here are a few tips for making the bathrooms more presentable:

• Always keep the bathrooms spotless


• Apply new caulking around all sinks, showers, baths and toilets


• Purchase new bathroom mats and place them in the bathroom only when you will be showing the house. (Keep the new mats looking new.)


• Purchase new towels and wash rags and place them in the bathrooms only when you will be showing the house. (Keep the new towels and wash rags looking new.)


• Keep all countertops clear of clutter. (Store make-up and other toiletries in the cabinets.)


• Make sure to maintain a pleasant odor in all of the bathrooms


• Keep all mirrors and windows clean


• Do not leave any clothes or towels lying around the bathroom

In general, make each and every one of your bathrooms look as though it is not used. Your bathrooms should look like a hotel bathroom looks when you first check in. Putting forth this effort will make your home more presentable and should lead to a quicker sale.
