Noseblindness is actually a thing. According to Dr. Richard Doty, the director of the Smell and Taste Center at the University of Pennsylvania, “You adapt to the smells around you.” It’s why you return from holidays and suddenly realize you need to open the windows – because when you’ve been away from your home, your nasal senses “reset” and you are smelling your home anew, just like a potential buyer might when entering your home for the first time.

Whether it’s pet odours, shoes, sports equipment, “Eau de Teenager,” or fridge and pantry items that have expired, we can all become noseblind. A good, old-fashioned deep clean is a must, including laundering bedding and pillows, cleaning the inside of refrigerators, pantries and ovens, steam-cleaning carpeting, and deep-cleaning pet bedding and litter areas is a must.

No product or perfume in the world can compare to the freshly-scrubbed smell of clean. For more information on how to prepare for the sale of your home please visit our Sellers Series and contact Team Weir.
