- Repaint walls with light neutral earth tones if possible

 

- Add a little water to latex paints when touching up.  This will prevent non-matching paint spots.

 

- If you have pet or smoke odor place ½ vinegar and ½ water in a large bowl.  Place in the center of    the room.  Replace with fresh water and vinegar daily.  The vinegar is a neutralizer and will not smell like vinegar.  This works great!

 

- Change you air return filters.  Place a couple of bounty sheets over the filter. 

 

- Straighten closets so you can see the floors. 

 

- Replace light bulbs as needed. . . Brighter the better
