The three smells good or bad are food, pets and toilets While I do not mind smell of food (not stale food though)I certainly would not watn to visit a house that smells or pets and toilets. Those who live in the house are immune to those smells and never feel their house is smelling and they do not take it well if a mention is made It is best that one takes one who their trust into confidence and check whether their house smells. I have done that specially with regard to pet smell. Have you done that?

But it is always good to check with those who you trust and visit you once in a way as they are the best judges and not the home people

Cats can be quite squeamish, they often dislike using the litter box unless it's clean. Of course I hate the smell, but I'd also be concerned about the pet's health if I smell something foul. Bathroom smell is no fun either but if that person has just done some "business", they can't really avoid it. As long as I see they opened the window or sprayed some perfume, I'm okay with it.

You can have an exhaust fan in bathrooms and also occasionally take someone into confdence and ask them if your house is smelling as we get used to our house smells

@somewitch If you can get someone close to you to tell you that would be better.

I have a dad and a best friend who would flat out tell me. I have a very sensitive nose, so I believe I would be able to tell, but thankfully, I’ve got two people who visit who aren’t afraid to warn me. My stepmom wouldn’t be of any help because she can literally smell nothing but smoke. I’m a bit of a candle addict too, so usually when someone walks in they ask what smells so good. Luckily, my place is always clean as well.

Every one should have a confidaante like you as no matter how sharp one's nose is it soon gets used the smell.

Some do not mind eating stale food and when they warm it up it smells bad.

Some food smell good, but not always the smell of food is pleasant. I have a very sensitive nose. I usually go out for a walk, when I come back I can smell my house and be sure that it smells good.

I have no problem with food provided it is not stale . Where there are pets mostly dogs it is good if one is told if their house smells bad.

@allknowing - i visited fiends with pets, but their houses never smelled bad. I do not like the smell of fried food, bacon, fish or onions when I enter a house.

Same here. i can't stand smelly toilets and dander. I once went to visit a friend's studio unit that houses 3 cats. I could not stand the smell.

The problem they get used to the smell and they do not get it It is always good to have someone close to talk about it.

I let my pets free to choose, they understand where they can defecate. Unfortunately, there are stray cats that like to give off an unpleasant smell in every corner of the door.

Smells are not good. There should be fresh air.

I love the nice smell of food cooking in the oven especially a homemade smell. Of course no one likes the smell of a pet or the bathroom. . I clean my bathroom everyday really good.

My apartment is very small and so I always keep a scooped out litter box for the cats, However, there are times they use the box at night and when I wake up to smell something bad I quickly get up and scoop it away,

I'm always checking to make sure my house smells clean and I would hate to think someone would think my house smelled.

I don't have pets and don't allow food to spoil. We have employed a man to clean the toilets. As we live in a foster care home we have many toilets to clean.

I have a pet dog and his anti teak powder has a very good smell so there's no question of bad smell. We keep our toilets clean. All of us hate dirty toilets.

As I have said we get used to the smell if any in our own house and asking someone close to you can help

i'm not too sensitive about pets but other two things - food and toilets are kind of a problem for me. i've never noticed bad smell in houses with cats, but the dogs do be stinky sometimes. i love them though and i don't mind it. most of the owners understand that the dogs have their own scent no matter if you bath them. but if you love them, it doesn't botter you as much, i think
