Your house looks beautiful. You’ve cleaned, decluttered, cleaned more, and followed the advice of a professional stager. How can your family continue to live there without ruining it? 

使用容器

You need a place to put your keys, 邮件, 电视遥控器, 牙膏, 化妆, and countless other items that usually litter horizontal surfaces in the house. Put a basket or Tupperware container in places where clutter could re-emerge. When you leave the house, stash the containers in a cabinet or take them with you. 

选择房间 

有孩子? 宠物? Designate a room that will be lived in normally. It’s where the kids can dump the Legos on the floor and you can put the cat’s litter box. When it’s time for a showing, the mess will be in one place instead of throughout the house. 

创建一个清单

“整理床铺。. 把好的毛巾拿出来. 清空猫砂盒. Put the containers in the closet.” Write down what needs to happen every morning before you leave the house to bring the property back to show-ready condition.
