Even if you regularly change the bags in your vacuum cleaner, the characteristic smell will sooner or later make itself known.
Some people prefer to solve the problem by opening windows while cleaning, while others approach it creatively, using improvised means. Here is one example.
Here is one of many possible solutions to the problem.
So, if the vacuum cleaner is polluting the air in the apartment, first of all you need to replace the dust collector, filters, and also clean the hoses, tubes and other containers.
This will not solve the problem completely, because dust can settle in hard-to-reach places. In addition, an unpleasant smell may appear not because of dirt, humidity and dust, but because of low-quality plastic, which tends to emit a pungent technical smell during heating.
How to get rid of the smell
Many housewives use soda. This can disinfect the device to a certain extent, but does not solve the problem with the smell.
You can also add washing powder, but its scent does not last long.
A much more cunning way is to use ground cinnamon. It does not matter how the spice gets inside the vacuum cleaner. You can pour it into the compartment or bag of the dust collector in advance, or you can simply sprinkle it on the floor and vacuum it.
Heating up from the inside, cinnamon will cope with any unpleasant smell – both caked dust and plastic.
Any housewife will appreciate the effect of such cleaning!
