and potholders out of sight. Soaps and cleaners should be stored under the sink. Rarely used appliances can be packed and put in storage. Pack away teacups, serving dishes and platters if you showcase them. If you want to draw attention to decorative shelving, put a few pieces out for show. Seasonal dishes and accessories should also be stored. Remove any pest control traps or poison from pantry or closets. Appliances are not extra shelving or storage. Buyers will not want to find the microwave used as a bread box or the oven as cookware storage. • Bathrooms - Remove everything from the cabinets and drawers. Keep what you need or will use and dispose of the rest. Store prescription medications out of sight and out of reach. Find a safe place for jewelry, keepsakes, and perfumes. Store hair products and styling tools in the cabinets. Make the bathroom look like it is rarely used. • Bedrooms – The main focus is showcasing closet space. Only hang clothes that you wear the most often and store the rest. When it comes to clothing, we generally only wear 20% of the clothes we own 80% of the time. • Dining Areas – Clear off any flat surfaces, including the dining table, leaving only subtle décor such as a vase of flowers.
