DVC Bags... You are right Will...really appreciated how they made after market cloth bags for kirbys and many other vacuums. It's a shame, but feel that envirocare paper bags seemed to have taken over the aftermarket share of replacement paper bags. | ||

hey fan guy- Since I do not know if your first name, I hope you don't mind 'Fan Guy'
Home care industries does ring a bell, I think you're thinking of EnviroCare. I dug around through my 'vault' of ancient, rare and NOS bags. I found a pack of OLD DVC bags for Whirlpool CVR/Kenmore 5024 bags, here's some info I found.
DUST VACUUM CORP P.O BOX 1148 Oxford, NC. 27565
Wonder if the P.O. box is still active? | ||

Well, I was not aware of this until now. But as with vackid above, in my store we just carry genuine bags or Envirocare bags. I especially like the hepa Envirocare bags, they can add far better filtering ability to some vacs you would have never thought of. Scott | ||

Tacony used DVC as their bag supplier until DVC abruptly (without warning) closed up. We had to scramble to find another manufacturer - and we did. The new bag manufacturer makes FAR better HEPA as well as paper bags, than DVC ever did. That's why Tacony's HEPA bags for other vacs (like F & G Eureka and Lux tank) are no more. It's a pity because I LOVED the Hepa Lux bags for my vintage machines. I did squirrel away three packs of Lux Hepa bags for my collection before they were all gone.

The Perfect bag's collar is very thick. Much thicker than the Electrolux bags. It seems to only work well with the model LX and LXI Electrolux models. With a Perfect bag, I have a very hard time getting the door to close on the model G and then when it is closed, it won't pop open because I had to slam it shut.

For members here interested in Type C Hepa bags for Electrolux canisters, there is another alternative. I have a couple of packs of Electrolux Hepa bags made by the Canadian vac parts distributor JohnnyVac. So if you can find a dealer in Canada that would ship to the States, you could always buy those. And these are BETTER quality than the Perfect Hepa bags too for that matter.

D.T, I'll keep on living with my '86 KTV CRT set, my 1984 Bell telephone (Since the '66 Automatic-Electric rotary isn't the best at calling in it's current state!). I'd love to see kids these days break a rotary phone, they find all kinds of ways to break screens on their phones, since when did phones need screens? some of the phones I've seen even have bits of the phone's shell busted off! | ||
