Remember when you sell real estate your home needs to smell good. You may be used to the smoky smell, or the cat smell, or the fish smell, or the mildew smell in the basement, or the curry or garlic smell. But that odor is offensive to some. It's a turn off to buyers. It is a major strike against your home. People walk in and out of prospective homes. They notice smells right away. Get rid of the dirty diapers!
I have actually walked into a room that smelled like the baby was right there with a smelly bottom. Needless to say we didn't stay in that house long. Mildew smells make people start looking for water leaks. If your basement has a water leak fix it and then clean up the smell with a commercial deodorizer. They have great products that eliminate the bacteria that cause the smell and not just cover it up.
Put baking soda around to soak up the smell, clean the area, and deodorize it. Make your home smell good. Buy a chocolate chip cookie, or Cinnamon smelling candle. Candles are supposes to neutralize odors but a spray from the store will work best. Happy home selling. For more tips on selling your home go www.russravary.com Have a great day. Russ Ravary
