When starting a new bag I just dump a little bit of baking soda into the new bag and then install it. If it starts to stink later on before its time to change the bag I just sprinkle a small amount on an area of carpet and vacuum it up. Be carful when using baking soda because it's a fine substance and can clog the pores of the bag and reduce sucktion and air flow so don't over do it. Also NEVER do this with a bag less vac it just cloggs the filter and makes a mess. Another good idea is I sometimes put a dryer sheet around the exhaust filter so that when I vacuum it smells wonderful!

I use an ozone generator and let the vacuum suck a god about thru it for few minutes and that kills the smell, and it never comes back. I have one of these 'ionizer' air purifier things that makes ozone, and thats what I use for this, and thats all I use it for really, deodorizing things, rooms, cars, vacuums, anything really. I just turn it up to high and hold the hose up by the grille or lay the vac on the back and let this thing blow the ozone towards the brush roll nozzle area so it can suck it in.
