Tip of the Week:


This week’s tip is about vacuum smells. We get a lot of calls about vacuums that have started to smell. There are a few things that you can do to help get rid of this. The first thing would be to change the bag as well as the filters. Sometimes if there is something that has an odour in the bag, it can come through, so getting rid of the bag is important. If that doesn’t get rid of it, you can try different types of filters. While it isn’t available for every vacuum, some vacuum companies make a charcoal filter. Charcoal is what they use to purify water, because it absorbs odours. Miele is a perfect example of this. Their charcoal filter is amazing at keeping the odours inside the vacuum.

Lastly, if these things don’t work, you can get a product called Fresh Wave Vacuum Pearls. These are little pearls that you sprinkle into the vacuum bag. What they do is they absorb odours. Recently, I was cleaning a customer’s “smelly” vacuum and tried these pearls. Within seconds the odour had disappeared!
