Cleansing the stench from a vaccuum...?
Here's the situation (and laugh it up if you'd like):
--I have my Grandmother here, who had just spent the night...and she had wet bed...MINE, in general. And many of us know that old people stink (no offense to those currently reading). My brother was supposed to take care of my bed, but he had decided to vacuum the bed's wet spot. The linen's dry, but now the vacuum reeks...and since we're trying to use it, everyone in the house--grandma aside--is suffering.
---Does anyone know how to permanently rid a vacuum of such a rank stench?! Please answer quickly---my brother's ... (Asked by Kiyo)

you should try putting some baking soda in the vacuum bag as it will help absorb the odour. you can also put some essential oils on the vacuum's filter as it will make the house smell lovely when you are vacuuming. I hope this helps...(Answered by JB) |

Actually, all of the above answers will help, with vinegar topping the list of effective odor neutralizers, believe it or not.
And by the way, painting the walls will not necessarily remove the odor, but mask it further unless you use a Kilz type product. Too much work!
Try washing the walls and surfaces with a vinegar solution. Sounds odd, and it will smell like vinegar for about 24 hours. But it does neutralize odors, and dissipates by itself. A sponge, placed in a bowl of vinegar in a room will soak up odors.
Baking soda can be placed ...(Answered by bec_ker6) |

Try using an ice cube on the spot before you wash them.
Also, using something like Shout! works, too. Be sure to rub the spot against another area of the pants (like the crotch) so that you loosen any blood on the threads.

At what age did you start asking them to help? When I was a Girl Scout leader, one of the moms was telling the rest of us that she expects her children to make their beds when they're three. Some of us thought it was too soon, but honestly it wasn't. A few years later when the rest of us were struggling to get our kids to do the simplest of tasks, her kids' rooms were neat and clean.
I learned a lot from Marlene. Her kids took care of their own clothes (dirty clothes to the laundry area and ...(Answered by Terrie B) |
