Id have to say how clean or dirty it is...But if it smells then that would be my first notice.

I had a hard time choosing between those two. I picked the smell thinking of either bad smells or a very good smell...I love candles

That was hard. I usually take in all of these things at once for an overall impression, but I chose whether it is clean or dirty. Smells and lightness were close seconds.

I will never forget, when i was a little girl, an elderly lady told me that, if you want to know if the peson is clean in her house, just pull your finger over the top of the doors, if thats clean, shes a good cleaner.
LOL.. i make a point of cleaning the tops of my doors once a week with a wet cloth.

Okay girls, I see a lot of houses on a daily base, being that I am a realtor. I must say cleaniness is first, and then smell.<actually they tie> I love candles but I have to tell you girls, that if a house smells really bad because of lack of cleaning, all the candles will do is cover it ,sometimes clashing with the scent.. Trust me I have sat many of open houses with this happening.. and my allergies kick in...lol
