Are you wondering if people think your house smells Do you think that your home might not be selling because of the odor that is lingering in your hallways Are you wondering if people think your house smells? Do you think that your home might not be selling because of the odor that is lingering in your hallways? Smells matter when selling a house. If a potential buyer's nose is offended, say goodbye to a potential sell. The question is what are those smells and what do I do about it? Here are some common smells that stink up a house and what to do about it.

One common mistake some homeowners make is believing that their pet never has an accident, so people think that the culprit in a stinky house couldn't be their pets. There are two problems with this false theory. The first is that your pet does have accidents, even if it is very infrequent. One accident a year over time can lead to a faint pet store smell. The second problem is pet dander has an odor as well. You may be used to the way your pets smell but others will smell that odor, even if it's faint. So, vacuum and shampoo carpets and upholstery to ensure all odors are removed. Anywhere that pets could leave a trail, remember to deep clean.

A great way to neutralize odors in any area is to leave baking soda boxes out to trap the odors. Baking soda absorbs odors wherever you put it. Those boxes are not just for refrigerators! Leave them in the bathroom, closets, or wherever is needed to neutralize odiferous areas.
