Michael Petruccelli asks; How do you prevent your pets from taking a bite out of your sale? (7)
Michael Petruccelli says; Nothing to sneeze at. Pets, for some, mean allergies and unpleasant smells. Some buyers’ allergies are so strong that dander in carpets and furniture can cause an attack within minutes and make a walk-through miserable or even impossible. So keep carpets and furniture vacuumed regularly—and let’s not forget about general pet odors. Without going overboard, carpet deodorizing treatments, air fresheners or some strategically-placed potpourri dishes (not where Fido can reach them) should do the trick.
