Yes there are two
the best is the Oreck new charcoal activated cloth 3M Filtrete style bags. Second is the Sanitaire S677 with style ST Bag by Arm and Hammer a 3M filtrete style bag . I have a Jack Russell Terror lol and she never smells at all . She swims in the pool all summer and during the winter she is bathed a couple of times. My kirby Sentria which I use often and My Aerus Lux Guardians upright and canister and also My Miele S7 swing upright all smell horrible like dog. When I use my Oreck or Sanitaire they both get used every few weeks never smell like dog and I dont change the bags in those two brands often because of seldom usage. I do prefer my Rainbow the most as I just got the New Rainbow E2 Series Onyx . The new Oreck bags in my Pilot are the best by far for a bag vacuum.

I have not been having too much luck with smells in the arm and hammer bags in my s677d. I will stick a dryer sheet inside the bag to help sometimes. Other times I sprinkle either rainbow sense in the bag or peppermint extract. Works wonders. | ||

I can smell a little from my Miele Titan, because the bags last so long I am sure. Only a cat, just one and clean daily, hell, more than daily, but Miele only a few times a month,even with the hepa exhaust filter I can smell some stale. Dyson dc 18 does get emptied every use, NO smell. Have washed out the bin twice in 3 or 4 years? I keep a very clean house, but still.All the other bagged units, even with a dryer sheet, Bounce Linen, there is odor if they are in too long. I think in the past, cheap bags, tossed often, true. My 3 cents, I went on too long.

When I have a vacuum that smells, I usually throw a dryer sheet in the dust cup or if it is bagged, between the bag and outer bag. Whenever I get a vacuum that has a nasty outer bag that smells or looks dirty, I'll throw it in the washing machine, and then use the air dry feature on the dryer to dry it, along with dryer sheets in the washer. That does the trick for me every time.
I don't think I have ever gotten an Oreck that has smelled. They are always 'neutral' when I get them. I use my Dyson DC14 one to two times a day, and it gets emptied once about every week to a week and a half. I have never had a smell issue with it believe it or not. I think it all depends on what type of vacuum, what you have sucked up, or what type of bag you use. Chase | ||

Ditto on the Kirby "Odorific". The Miele HYclean bags last a long time. Still with all the filtration, the exhaust can become stale. A few drops of Odorific on a cotton ball placed into the bag and all is well. The clean scent really lasts. L.P. | ||

I use a nice pump-spray product ... ... called Odoban that works wonders at eliminating smells. Sometimes I'll spray it directly onto the outer bag jacket of an upright; other times I'll spray it directly onto the paper bag, or spray some onto a paper towel and deposit that into the bag. In the case of a bagless cleaner like my two Electrolux TwinCleans (US and UK models) I'll saturate a few cotton balls with Odoban and then suck them up into the dirt chamber. I've found Odoban on eBay, but I'm sure that vac shop suppliers like Hesco, Essco, and Steel City would likely have something like it available as well.
There's also something else that works pretty well, now that I think of it: a couple of liquid disinfectants that are widely available. One is Zoflora, which is from the UK: the other is Mistolin, which is available here in the USA. I usually use these on cotton balls in much the same way that I use the Odoban.
I've included a link to the Mistolin Caribe website (makers of the Mistolin I use ... I think that there's another version out there which is made by Clorox) just in case anyone's interested in learning more about it. CLICK HERE TO GO TO tazcatsdad's LINK | ||

Odo-Ban is available here at our local Sam's Club. If there's a Sam's in your area, you might try looking there. | ||
