When potential buyers visit, they’re not only looking but also using their sense of smell, even if they’re not aware of it. As homeowners, we often get used to our home’s unique scent and might overlook any unpleasant odors. However, these odors can be immediately noticeable to newcomers. Before showing your property, take a moment to assess the scent and use these tips to deodorize your home.
1. Pets
Pet odors, especially from dirty litter boxes or old stains, are common offenders. Keep your pet's litter box impeccably clean and consider professional carpet cleaning for any pet stains. Remember, many people are allergic to pets, so vacuum your furniture and carpets regularly. If possible, limit your pet’s access to certain areas while your home is on the market. Thinking of getting a new pet? It might be wise to wait until after you’ve moved.2. Cooking
We’ve heard about the benefits of eating fish, but while your house is on the market, consider dining out for fish. Strong cooking odors, like those from fish, cabbage, onions, and garlic, can linger. To cleanse the air, boil lemon slices or run lemon peels through the garbage disposal. Make sure to remove kitchen garbage frequently as well.3. Cigarettes
Smoking can significantly reduce a home's value, sometimes by 30% or more, as smoke seeps into walls, carpets, and furniture. If anyone in the household smokes, stop doing so inside immediately once you decide to sell. Repainting and either cleaning or replacing carpets can help. If the weather allows, open windows to naturally freshen your home.By following these steps, your house won’t just look inviting; it will also smell fresh and appealing. An odor-free home is more likely to attract buyers and achieve your desired selling price.
