Homeowners, by law, need to fully disclose any issues they had while living in the house that may affect the home's property value or appeal to potential buyers. Homes built before 1978 need to disclose whether there is lead-based paint, as a prime example, and potential buyers with allergies may need to know if you had a pest problem or kept pets in the home.
Other disclosures include physical defects like leaks, faulty wiring, cracks in the concrete and other issues that you had to deal with. Your state should have a special form for you to fill out, sign and date. Between your pre-listing inspection, cleaning checklist and careful analysis of issues you fixed around the home, you should have an insightful response for this step.
