When selling your home, it's important to get the kitchen clean, organized and ready to sell since many consider the kitchen to be the heart of the home.

• Clear the counters as best as you can. Put away appliances and only take them out to use them.
• Put rarely used pots, pans, and dishes in storage
• Clean out any "junk drawers"
• Create as much empty space as possible in drawers, cabinets, and the pantry
• If your pantry is crammed full, begin to use as much of it as you can. You don't want to be moving a lot of food when you leave and it will also help to create a clean space that will appeal to buyers
• Clear out as much as possible from underneath the sink. Move any extra cleaning supplies out and make sure that the sink is free from any leaks
• Give the kitchen a scrub down including the counters, sink, cabinets, floors, etc.
