If you own a vacuum cleaner, you are likely all too familiar with the woes of an unpleasant odor radiating from the dust canister. This tends to be a common occurrence when the vacuum cleaner has been frequently used over several months, and you'll only notice it when the vacuum is in use.
There is often a simple reason why your vacuum smells. It could be because the filter is clogged and needs unblocking, or you've vacuumed a wet surface and not dried the vacuum parts. Either way, you'll want to freshen up and deodorize your vacuum cleaner unless you want to spread a less-than-fresh pong around the home.
