In 2005 Statistics Canada did a report on smokers in Canada. According to their results, 20% of our population over 15 smokes, this means 80% of of your prospective buyers do not smoke. Smoking can kill a sale (not to mention you). Don’t risk losing your home’s sale by removing ashtrays, cigarette butts as well as any evidence of smoking. Refrain from smoking inside and around your property. Although the weather is getting cooler with the fall, try taking a walk for your cigarette break.

Ionizers and baking soda are great tools to help clean out the odors smoke leaves behind.
