Eliminate odors. Bathe your pets, shampoo your carpets, empty trash cans, refrain from cooking fish or strong-smelling foods.
Introduce pleasing smells. Use potpourri or air fresheners. Apple, vanilla, and chocolate scents are most popular.
Introduce lifestyle accessories. Set the dining room table with your best dishes. Put new set of towels in the kitchen and bathrooms. Put some logs in the fireplace.
Fresh flowers and candles will add special warmth and welcome.
