- Painting: Painting gives you the best return for money spent. Any wall that
is dirty or marked or any rooms that are currently painted in dark colors,
should be repainted in neutral--offwhite or antique white. This will
make the room appear larger than it is.
Clutter: If an item is not necessary for your day-to-day life, box it up and
store it. Remove all clutter and unnecessary items from countertops and clean
all countertops.
Closets: Make sure all closets are neat, clean, and organized.

Cleaning: keep furniture at a bare minimum. Cleaning--including dusting,
washing, and waxing everything --will always make a house more appealing.
Use the grout saw to remove the old grout and regrout it.
The first step is to clean out the damaged joints with a grout saw, which is
available at hardware stores for about $5. The plastic handle of the saw is
fitted with a steel blade that has either sharp serrated teeth or an abrasive
carbide grit. Both work well.
