• Have soothing low volume music playing in the background
  
  
• Use lightly scented sprays or pot-pore to give your home a fresh scent
  
  
• If you do not like to use sprays, the smell of freshly baked bread is irresistibly welcoming
  
  
• All floors and carpets should be clean, vacuumed and swept
  
  
• Make sure that your lawn and garden have been kept up; i.e. weeding, mowing lawn, cutting hedges, etc.
  
  
• Clear driveway and sidewalks of any debris, dirt, or snow/ ice
