Make Your Residence Smell Nice Ahead of an Open House


Smell is one of our most valuable senses. This sense is linked with your memory. It is known by experts that very good smells can evoke cheerful memories and experiences. Distinct fragrances can communicate a vast array of sensations and feelings.  This is where the smell of your home can affect how long it takes to sell your home.

There is a reason why waterloo REALTOR®s always think about the very best scent for home staging before a showing. Experts say that a house that smells like freshly baked cookies can bring to mind a warm and homey feeling while a refreshing and clean smelling house can stir up feelings of potential and new opportunities.

Here are some tips that are known to help with smells in a home

Use Baking Soda

To get rid of any undesirable smells in your residence it is wise to use baking soda. If you own carpets or rugs, spread some baking soda out to help remove tough smells and leave you with a simple pallet. Let the baking soda sit for 10-15 minutes before vacuuming it up.

Use Your Stove

The simplest way to make your house smell good is to use your stove. Use a pot of boiling water with some essential oils. This is great for selling your house. During the winter, use spicy and warm flavors such as cinnamon and apples. During the spring and summer, use orange or lemon a fresh citrus scent instead.

Diffuse Essential Oils

Purchase an inexpensive diffuser, then add a few drops of essential oil. Few hours before your open house, let it run. Give your prospective buyers motivation to buy your household by making it smell like a home. Let your guest visualize themselves owning this home. Just be sure you use scents that stimulate only the very best memories and feelings.
