This is very common. Post a sign near or on the door that says "Please remove your shoes or wear shoe covers." Provide shoe covers in a basket at the front door

If the home has a odor the best thing you can do is open it up prior to the open house to air it out. Bringing an air freshener (Lemongrass) would be ok but not needed. I would not use open flames nor bake cookies. The idea is to have them envision themselves in the home, not a cookie. You could tape your business card to a bag of microwave popcorn or use mailing labels to create a sticker that says "Thanks for popping by" Creative marketing.
