How do you remove the dog smell from a vacuum cleaner?

Posted by admin
Sharon asked:


I have an older Kirby vacuum cleaner (upright with bag). When I have had dogs since I have owned the vacuum. When I use the vacuum it puts out a strong smell into the air of a dog that needs a bath. (I used a shop vac on the same floor and didn’t get any smell. So it’s not the rug, it’s the vacuum). Anyone know how to remove the smell?

      Sprinkle baking soda on the carpet and vacuum it up. It will help to neutralize the odor in the bag
