The appearance of a stench can be explained by several reasons. For example, the dust collector is full or the filter of the device is clogged.

Eliminating the smell is quite difficult. However, using cinnamon beforehand will help prevent the problem.

If you find a little cinnamon on the carpet before you start cleaning, you can safely vacuum it: even if the vacuum cleaner is a source of unpleasant odor, the stench will not linger in the room.

The aroma of cinnamon will quickly "mask" everything unnecessary. After finishing cleaning, the room will smell nice.
