Odorific

I have tried Kirby odorfic II. Put it on a cotton ball. Drop it in the bag. I have also used dryer sheets in the bottom of the canister before I put a bag in. Install it like a pre filter. Works well too? Some time you just have to take it apart and clean everything. I don't like to do that because I never get everything back like it should be, but I do take them to the vac shop for them to disinfect and deodorize everything.

I usually take mine into the sauna or steam room with me. It sort of detoxifies the internal parts.......







Oh! LOL! After all these years, I STILL kill me!


Seriously Brad, I find the only way to completely de-stink a vintage machine is to completely disassemble it and wash the heck out of the fans, fan housings, motor, bag chamber, and the entire interior. I use purple power (available at automotive stores) diluted. Full strength it will eat your hands and loosen paint. Cut with warm water - it cleans anything, and it smells pretty good too.

Dis assemble it and!

Run it thru the dishwasher, armature field coils and all, everything but the carbon brushes, works great.
