    On the dog issue there isn't really much we can do about them, they exist so we just have to work around them.
    We only have carpet on the stairs (where they are not allowed) they rest is wooden floors & tiles. Soft furnshings are washed regularly thanks to children's sticky fingers.
    I can open all windows beforehand & give the house a good airing as well as the usual plugs ins etc.

    Stop worrying.
    Assuming your house is a family type house any realistic prospective buyer will expect to encounter a bit of kid related clutter and will see past it.
    As for the dogs you really need to get them out of the way for the viewing, especially the big guy.

    See that's what I'm wondering, how clean do people expect at a viewing?
    It's just a standard 3 bed terrace house, definitely a family house, it is clean & well kept so I'm hoping that'll be enough.
    Dogs will be in my sisters for viewings. We have the back garden split in 3, one decked for the kids, one with grass & plants for me & one slabbed for the dogs which I will hose down & Jeyes Fluid before any view to hopefully elevate any doogy smell.
    Careful with Jeyes fluid!!
