Magic Eraser -- a little cleaning goes a long way!

Showed a house this past weekend that had serious need for a "magic eraser." The house was only two years old but really dirty -- the sellers had neglected to clean off door frames, woodwork, and doors from grubby little fingers and it gave the whole house a feel like it just hadn't been well maintained. So sellers take note: a little cleaning goes a long way in getting a house ready to put on the market. A lot of buyers can even overlook dated if they get a general sense that the house has been well-maintained.

I have to give credit for my Magic Eraser knowledge to Kerri Buchanan. She taught me about Magic Eraser when we did a walk-through a new construction home she was purchasing and she got out lots of dark marks and surface wall blemishes out herself!
