If you're selling your own home, here are 3 ways to remove all odors!
The first thing you may be thinking is: "I don't smell anything". You live in your home so you probably won't. It's a little uncomfortable to think about but our clothes, carpet, couches, kitchens and bathrooms have a distinct smell that is all our own. When others come in your home, they smell what we don't!
Here are 3 things you should do:
1. Invest in an Ionizing Air Purifier or Ozone Generator. These little babies work wonders. Along with dangerous mold spurs, bacteria, and viruses being removed from the air, odors will be removed as well.
2. Use a Steam Extractor to clean your upholstered furniture and carpet. Either rent one or call in the professionals for a more powerful cleaning or for those deeply imbedded odors.
3. Use a combination of vinegar, lemons, warm water, bleach, baking soda and Tri-sodium phosphate to wash all walls, doors, ceilings, floors, refrigerator inside and out, stove inside and out, and drawers. Use them to launder clothes, drapes, and linen.
If these things are done, you won't be masking odors when you, then, put out your potpourri, vanilla oil, and hidden baking soda boxes...you'll be complimenting an already fresh home!
Happy Selling!
