When you are selling your home, using scents can be a tricky issue. The best place to check which scents to use and how much scent to use, is with your realtor. Scents can be tricky because many potential buyers can be allergic or sensitive to strong or perfume type odors. That said people want their homes to smell fresh, clean and inviting. Start with a deep cleaning and a professional carpet cleaning, this will go a long way in reducing odors in a home especially from pets and cooking. To add a pleasant aroma to the home try simmering a pot of apple cider with cinnamon sticks in it.
