One of the biggest problems faced by Realtors is how to explain to our sellers that there are unpleasant smells in their house or townhouse that will keep them from getting the best price when they sell...or keep them from selling at all!
Common sources such as those from smoking, pets, and cooking (especially from fish and curries) and more extreme odors from plumbing and sewage backup, are all potential problems. Air fresheners, ozone and deodorizers may mask the smells for a while, but they keep coming back. Repainting and cleaning or replacing carpets or drapes are only temporary solutions. Odor molecules can migrate through carpets to sub-floors, and through walls and sheet rock to the studs.
We had a presentation yesterday by Rainbow Services in Saratoga, a company that uses a non-toxic method to remove odors for good and guarantees its work. Several Realtors in the room had used their service and recommended it highly.
