Making a first impression

It is time for seasonal house cleaning to prepare for the holidays. Chances are that you will have plenty of guests, and a few of them will simply drop in with no advanced warning. However, when it comes to your home, visitors will form an opinion about its cleanliness in the same three seconds, and they may not ever see your home. This is because it is hard to overcome a negative first impression if your home does not smell inviting.

Pet smells
  • Nothing is more discouraging than walking in, smelling pet odors, and pet accidents.
  • Furniture needs to be cleaned periodically with pet stain and odor cleaner.
  • Whenever possible, open up the windows and move your furniture so it is exposed to the incoming sunlight.
  • Take removable parts such as pillows and arm covers, and hang them outdoors to catch a breeze.
  • Vacuum the furniture with machine that has a HEPA filter.
  • Soak problem areas on carpets and floors with pet-odor-specific cleaning products.

Cigarette smoke and stains

Have you ever been to a smoker’s home and noticed a dark yellow staining on the walls? This is the residue of nicotine, and it permeates everything from placemats on the dining room table, to your favorite sweater. Astonishingly, the smell of cigarette smoke scan last for years in carpet and upholstery fibers. As we mentioned above, smoke particles will also cling to the walls, surfaces of appliances, and clothing. If you are a smoker, chances are that you are not even be aware of the cigarette odors in your home. Call one of your non-smoking friends in to give you a trusted opinion. To remove odors from carpets and fabrics, sprinkle baking soda over the surfaces, and let it sit for a couple hours. Vacuum the baking soda with a machine that has a HEPA filter. If odors persist, you will probably need to rent a carpet and upholstery cleaner.
