? Scrub tile grout and re-caulk around the tub and sink if necessary.

? Remove all clutter and pack up your personal belongings.
? Create a spa look and feel by adding fancy soaps, fluffy towels, decorative touches and a new bath mat.
? Fix any leaks and replace the toilet seat.
? Clean out your drains and deodorize with baking soda or vinegar.
? Consider switching out your old sink for a pedestal sink to give the appearance of more space.
