When I sell my house, I plan to leave about 6 almost empty cans of paint in the garage on a plastic shelf. The lids of the cans are labeled with where the paint was used in the house (which room and whether it was used for walls, trim, or ceiling). Most of the paint is white.
I'm moving across the country and into an apartment, so I plan to leave some light bulbs also, rather than try to ship them.
I am leaving two HVAC filters that can be washed and reused. I used to Sharpie to label them "can wash and reuse."
I'm leaving the appliance and water heater manuals in the kitchen cabinets.
There is a box of new extra flooring pieces in the closet, left over from when the flooring was recently redone. There are two new extra slats for the bedroom vertical blinds. If the flooring or blinds get damaged, repairs will be easier because the buyers will have the needed replacement parts.
Will potential buyers view these items as helpful or annoying clutter? The house will be empty when buyers walk through, except for these items which I will place out of sight in closets.
