SmellSmell has more impact than you might expect. It can work for or against you: the smell of newness is positive - this scent can be achieved by applying a fresh coat of polyurethane to natural wood or latex paint to walls. The smell of cleanliness is important to the selling environment of your home. Beyond actually cleaning, lemon oil or lemon wax can create a lasting scent of freshness. Fresh flowers can also be effective; for a real heart-warming touch, place a dish of vanilla aroma of fresh baked cookies or bread; sweeten the refrigerator with a box of baking soda; smells to avoid include strong pet odors, tobacco, cooking and oil or gas. |
