Do they stink? Like, old vacuums got stink like the shit they've been sucking up for years. How do you fix that?
Not the OP, but you can clean all the parts when torn down for service. Vacuum bags instead of holding tanks also helps with that, but mostly it's the filters. Replace all the filters and the smells go with it.
Yeah every couple of years, you just unscrew and clean. Its pretty easy.
Vacuuming a cotton ball damp with something smelling nice to fix this. Just leave it in the vacuum. I use peppermint oil.
