ATLAS 10 A CLEAN, STYLISH BATHROOM CAN SOAK UP A SALE Whatever condition your bathroom is in, it must be clean. Nothing puts more buyers off than mildew, a dirty loo or bad smell. Clean your tiles and grouting, and make sure your windows, mirrors and shower screens are spotless and free of streaks. Hairs in the drains are a real put off, so check this before you open your home to buyers. Replace your soap bars with liquid soap, as there will be less mess to take care of. CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN Bad smells can sometimes creep into your bathrooms and scare buyers away. Make sure to air well. Open the windows, use the extractor fan, and add some potpourri or air freshener if needed. However, try not to go over the top as buyers might think you are trying to hide something. THAT SMELL WON’T SELL Cracked basin, toilets or tubs give the impression the room is unhygienic, so consider replacing these. It is not that expensive provided you don’t change the plumbing. Luxury spa bathrooms are trendy but can be very expensive. To add a little touch of luxury to any bathroom, and create a nice, cosy feeling, rely on accessories. Fresh, plump towels, some handmade soaps, plant or fresh flowers, and some boutique bath products set out in your bathroom will do the trick. FIX THE FITTINGS AND ADD A TOUCH OF LUXURY
