I have a hoover windtunnel. nice vacuum cleaner, but whenever I turn it on it blows stale, stinky air . I have changed the bag, changed the filter, sprayed it with Lysol and two weeks later it smells just as stale and funky as ever. This started when I was dog sittin a Lab (lots of hair shedding) and won’t go away even though the dog has been gone for over a year.

      The carpet cleaner with pet deodrizer also suggest that you allow them to help clean the smell out just make sure you allow them to dry really well.
      The smell out just make sure you tried arm and water to help clean the catch bins with pet deodrizer also suggest that you tried arm.

      You’ve already done everything I would have suggested. Seems like a permanent funk to me and you should replace it.

      change the bag(if it has one). dryer sheets work well in the bags, just put a few into a new bag and a few when the bag is about half full.

      That’s a long time to still be having a problem. Try stuffing a couple dryer sheets into a new bag.
