stinky vac bags
Original Message May 22, 2009 11:08 am

I'm in a house with 4 dogs, 1 cat, and a Miele Capricorn. The bags tend to get quite odiferous before they're even half full and the activated charcoal filter can't keep up. I even tried hosing the bag down with Febreze and drying it out before using it, but that just makes it smell worse.

Have any of you tried the Arm & Hammer bags? Are they any good? Other than that, I'm tempted to go to an aquarium store and buy a box of Zeolite granules.

Carmine is scared to use baking soda with his Oreck. It doesn't do harm to Dysons.

Wrong HS. I don't need the baking soda to neutralize the odor from yellow lab. The HOOVER [TEMPO] and ORECK [XL CLassic] bags work just fine.

I am glad it worked for you. Don't tell Carmine. He is either used to the smell and doesn't notice it or his smeller is diminishing.

Wrong again HS. Mine works better than most. I can guess a woman's fragrance when standing close by and always get it right! Makes a wonderful impression on the ladies regardless of their age.

The ladies that you associate with most likely wear the same toilet water that is standard in the LV cat houses.

Hello Venson:

Yes, cat houses are legal here in Nevada. The reason in part that President Obama warned the money mongers of Wall Street that they can't go to LV on the taxpayers' dime. Not enough cat houses to satisfy the greedy gropers.
