Okay, so I found a Kirby today with a tag I've never seen before.

It has the original factory tag hooked to the bag and is talking about a chemical inside the bag called KG-40 and lists all about what it does and says that

"Your DS 50 has been impregnated with KG-40"

Never seen a tag from the factory on these models. Anyone know of this? All I know is that the chemical is mostly Zinc.

I picked up this DS 50 at an antique store with all the attachments and box for only 8 dollars! The cleaner is all original as well! Not too bad eh?

KG-40

When we were clearing out my grandpa's house, after he passed away, I found the owner's manuel for his D50 and that same take was tucked inside.
KG-40 was Kirby's miracle additive. They added it to the Suds formula in the early '60's, if I remember correctly. The d50's bags were treated with the stuff to prevent mold and the like. I don't know how well it worked, but they were very proud of it.
I'm sure someone on the forum knows all the details.

99.9% inert ingredients...sounds like Mr. Pirelli's Miracle Elixer!

My Classic also has that tag hanging on the bag. It sounds like KGF-40 was designed to give the new Kirby owner the warm fuzzies.
