Introduction

Preparing a probate home for sale? One of the most important steps is eliminating odors. Strong smells like musty odors, pet urine, or cigarette smoke can turn buyers away and lower the home’s value. In this video, we’ll explain how to identify and remove these odors to make the property more appealing.

Common Odors in Homes

- Musty Odors: Often caused by moisture or a home being vacant for too long.

- Pet Odors: Usually from cat or dog urine, which can seep into carpets and walls.

- Smoke Odors: Cigarette smoke can stain walls and ceilings, leaving a lingering smell.
