 Planning to Sell Boise Idaho Real Estate?

Get the brightest, cleanest windows!

Everyone knows that having a clean well staged home with lots of light will result in a higher sales price! A great place to start is the windows. Get the brightest, cleanest windows! A simple mixture of two parts water to one part white distilled vinegar is all you need for a clean finish on windows and glass surfaces. Wipe the inside of windows from side to side, and the outside of windows from top to bottom. This makes it easier to see which side (if any) needs further cleaning.

Insider tip: Try and tackle the job while the weather is still cool to prevent streaking. Start indoors before installing your screens, then finish the job outside on a dry day.
