HOUSTON (KIAH) Without scented candles, some homes can smell like a mix of burritos and body odor. Many do whatever it takes to make sure their home smells very nice for visitors.
In fact, a new poll found the average person spends $221 a year to make their home smell good. And we might splurge a little more when we’ve got guests coming.
The worst smells for guests are cigarette smoke, dirty dishes, and pet smells, like a dirty litter box.
Here are the top five things we worry about when visitors are coming . . .
1. How clean your place is. 45% said it’s a top priority.
2. How it smells, 43%.
3. Design choices and how it looks, 42%.
4. Do they have a space to sit and relax, 34%.
5. Are there enough choices when it comes to food, 30%.
