Vacuum cleaner stinks - what to do?

If your vacuum cleaner stinks, there are various tricks on how to get the foul-smelling household appliance clean again.

You can do that if the vacuum cleaner stinks

• First check whether the bag is full. A full bag often announces bad smells.
• After each bag change, it is recommended to soak up some washing powder. This spreads good air and is constantly whirled up by the suction force in the bag.
• If your vacuum cleaner has a mite filter, you should also clean it frequently.
• The vacuum cleaner pipe can also spread bad smells. Therefore, rinse this off regularly with lukewarm water. Then let it dry completely before using the vacuum cleaner the next time.
