S(m)elling Houses...

Your title made me laugh.  My first thought was a negative thought because the only memorable smells when thinking about this are the nasty smells of pet pee, cigarette smoke, etc.  I prefer a home that doesn't smell so strongly of something that I just know that they are trying to mask another disagreeable smell.  Bad smells impact the sale-ability of a house much more than nice smells.  To me, no scent is the best scent.  That makes sense to me.

Phyllis, this makes so much sense and is so easy to do, I have done vinegar before, but Eucalyptus makes more sense.  Thanks 

Putting a scent on the filter works very well. In doing so, every part of the house gets the scent evenly-no rooms that may be stronger than others. It is best to use a neutral scent such as eucalyptus as you recommended, or vanilla, lavender, amber, etc...

Pretty neat idea. Very simple.  I like the vanilla smell as well.  Not sure what eucalyptus actually smells like.

Now that is a very simple and very clever idea, Phyllis.  I love it.

What a great tip! Thanks Phyllis!!

Great idea! A subtle hint of a pleasant fragrance can be surprisingly refreshing. Hopefully, there isn't a terrible odor in the home that is hard to mask.

Eucalyptus oil and some of the other oils can be very strong and some people are allergic to them - just sayin'.  Maybe something a little lighter would be a better option.

Citrus oils like lemon and orange tend to work well.  Ginger juice and vanilla are good fresh smells as well.

Then there is the old standby - bake some bread in a bread machine.
