Selling your home can be one of the most stressful things you’ll ever do. Not only do you need to make sure all the official documents are properly prepared and organised, but you also need to get the house to a presentable state. The idea is to get the highest sale price you can, and stained carpets, discoloured grout and grimy tiles will definitely not help. That’s why it pays to clean tiles and grout before selling. We always recommend getting your tiles and grout (and even carpets) professionally cleaned before you list.

Don’t Waste Your Time

When it comes to selling your home, there are tonnes of tasks that will require your full, undivided attention. For this reason alone, it only makes sense to have a professional come in to look after your tiles and grout while you focus on the more important tasks at hand. Even though tile and grout cleaning can be made to look easy by the professionals, it’s definitely not a simple task. To get a great finish, you’ll need specific cleaning products and cleaning equipment.

Let Your Tiles Shine

Bringing that lustrous shine back into your tiles on your own is an arduous task. Unless you have the right cleaning products and a high-pressure washer, you’re going to find it extremely challenging to obtain that new-look finish.

First Impressions Last

The moment someone steps into your home, the feeling they get from their surroundings will more than likely be the one they leave with and hold on to. To maximise your chances of giving potential buyers that ‘wow’ experience when they walk in for the first time, it’s crucial that every room is prepared. Bathrooms and kitchens are two of the most important rooms to buyers, so making sure your grout is free of mould and discolouration, and your tiles aren’t invaded by soap scum, is of the utmost importance. Clean tiles also photograph better, which helps your listing stand out online.

When to Book Your Tile and Grout Clean

Book your clean before the listing photos are taken, so the home looks its best online and at the first open home. If the carpets need attention too, check our current carpet cleaning deals or mention it when you call, and our team can quote for both.

Can You Clean Tiles and Grout Yourself Before Selling?

For light grime, a good home clean helps, and our guide on how to clean grout in the shower covers the steps. If the grout stays dark after cleaning, or mould has worked its way in, a professional clean will usually get a much better result in the time you have before you list.
