Kitchen interiors

Open and clean the refrigerator, oven, dishwasher, cabinets, drawers, shelves, and the surfaces around appliances. Buyers and new occupants open things.

Bathrooms and touch points

Detail fixtures, shower surfaces, vanities, mirrors, baseboards, doors, and the floor edges behind the quick path through the room.

Rooms, trim, and floors

Baseboards, ledges, doors, trim, closets, and floor transitions collect the dust that broad photos miss. Check the spaces behind furniture and along the perimeter.

Broom clean is not move-out clean

A purchase agreement may use “broom clean” to describe a basic condition. That phrase does not necessarily include appliance interiors, cabinet interiors, baseboards, or built-up residue. Confirm the practical expectation with the person receiving the property.

Timing in Lincoln

For a listing, clean before photos and showings. For a landlord, plan around keys, inspection, and the next occupant. For a seller, leave enough time for a touch-up if the home has been active during the handoff.
