- Taking down shelving may result in holes that need filling and sometimes even a quick coat of paint, afterwards.

- Remember to fix anything that may be broken like blinds or door hinges.
- Lastly wiping skirting boards then cleaning carpets, rugs and flooring will finish off the look appearance of your newly freshened room, perfectly.
