During winter months, when windows are not opened as frequently or the heat is turned on, home odors can become trapped in the home and are unappealing to potential home buyers. To eliminate odors, keep pets well groomed. When strong cooking odors occur, use the kitchen fan to help minimize them. Keep your home clean. Scented candles can be lit prior to open houses and showings. Never leave lit candles unattended. Fresh, clean scents make a good first impression for potential home buyers.
