You have to consider the senses when putting your home on the market, as it isn't just about how the house looks.   Step outside and take a few deep breaths then open your front door and step inside.   Close your eyes and inhale and think about what you smell?   Do you have pets?   More than likely you will smell them?   Did you fry something last night?   That smell can linger for days.   If you're serious about selling your home, you do need to consider how it smells.

My answer to any house odor is the Lampe Berger.   Created in France over 100 years ago to combat the smell of cigar smoke in Smoking Rooms, this clever devise actually destroys the odors in the air before releasing the scented oil.   It's increible that a small jar can fragrance a house up to 3000 square feet.   The jars are available in many different sizes, shapes and colors and there is a wide variety of fragrances too.   A few of my favorites are Ocean and New Orleans.    For more information - see their website at:
