Buyers want to close the sale on Friday, move and unpack on Saturday, meet the neighbors Sunday, and then go to work and send the kids off to school on Monday. The more move-in ready you make the house, the faster and easier it will be to sell. Kitchens must look like a showroom and bathrooms like a spa. Polish every inch of the house from the ceiling to the baseboards, and don't forget the mirrors, lights, and floors. Make each space, including the front entrance, appear like a well kept hotel retreat.
Buy new, never-used plush white towels to display only for open houses and showings. When you move, take them with you to use in your new home. Here is a link to my current favorite staging towel available at Walmart.com.
