If You Can Smell It - I Can't Sell It

 

If You Can Smell It, I Can't Sell It

Getting your home ready to sell? Let's face it: a lovely scent can be the secret ingredient to getting those potential buyers swooning! Here are some light-hearted tips to help your space smell amazing, while being kind to anyone sensitive to strong smells.

 

Get your home deep-cleaned professionally! 

If you will do it yourself, roll up those sleeves and give everything in your home a good scrub! Vacuum those carpets, wipe down surfaces, and make those windows sparkle. A clean home not only looks good but also smells good.

Try simmering some water with lemon, orange, or cucumber slices. It’s a natural way of creating a fresh aroma without any of those overpowering artificial scents. Forget the cinnamon because of allergies.

 

Sprinkle baking soda on your carpets or upholstery, let it sit briefly, and then vacuum it up.  Odors are gone! 

Remember to let in the great outdoors! On every nice day, fling open those windows. The best homes have a whole-house attic fan. Let fresh air through your home. It works wonders for stale odors. And if you like air purifiers, opt for unscented or natural ones—your future buyers will thank you.

When it comes to candles or air fresheners, tread lightly. Some folks are sensitive, so if you must use them, stick to hypoallergenic or fragrance-free options. And for safety, forget the candles!

By following these simple tips, you can create a welcoming, fresh atmosphere that makes everyone feel right at home.

But remember, If You Can Smell It, I Can't Sell It
