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.

That's funny. I don't think I would've ever thought to clean there...

My pet peeve is that my carpets always look nice. I definitely get my money's worth out of my vacuum cleaner!

Wow! That's interesting. I've had mine for 2.5 years and I haven't had to replace it yet. We've had to buy tons of new bags and a few belts, but that's it.

I think the reason its smells for me is because I walked into a hose once that smelled of dog urine so badly that it made me sick. I use tons of scented cleaners (my fave is Mr. Clean citrus scent), lots of candles, air fresheners, carpet deodorizers. Even though we don't have pets I'm afriad of my house smelling bad.
