Wouldn't think the Gain detergent would cause harm-why?Deodorizer? |

Gain detergent will not harm the paper bag. It is granulated enough that it does not clog up the pores of the bag, plus, if it is the first thing you put in the bag- it will remain at the bottom and not obstruct any airflow. I'm not sure of the odor, but I guess your house would smell like freshly washed clothes????

To get rid of odors, i use these neat little Oreck Scent Tablets. I put them in all my kirbys and my oreck. VW |

I have two boxes of Electrolux air fresheners, Clean Sweep and air filter sachets. Although, they are from the 70s, so after 30+ years of non use, they have an interesting odor too them. |

Thanks!
I have some rainbow vaccum liquid that I put on a cotton ball and suck up into the bag, but the smell is gone by the next day..... I vacuum pretty much every other day, and the bag isn't anywhere near full, and sometimes it gets that stale smell when you vaccum and I can't stand that, so I end up changing it. The thing that made me think of Gain is that I have an unopened box of Gain HE powder stored in a room because I bought some that was on sale, and when you walk in the room, it smells awesome in there, so it made me wonder if I put like a tea spoon or so in the bag, if it would work. Dryer sheets sound like a good idea too. My main reason for posting is I wanted to make sure the Gain would be something that would slip right through the bag and damage the vac, like drywall dust or something. Thanks |

I usually use Green Leaf scented sachets, they are the consistency of kitty litter, I rotate my scents seasonally, Twilight for Spring, roses Roses for Summer, Pomegranite for Fall, and Timberleaf for Winter |
