I'm more than 100% sure that the carpets don't smell. There is no smell at all in the house, I've asked several people that have been round and they would all tell me if my house smelt like dog. The girls don't smell like dog, they always smell like they just went to the groomers. The hoover itself stinks, when it's running the air coming out of it is awful.

It's more dog smell but I guess it has a hint of dirty socks/sweaty feet... either way, it's icky. I don't think it's a used one, it was from a highend chain store and was all sealed and cost alot so if it was used I'd be pretty annoyed. I think I will give the vinegar a go and if tomorrow I have the same thing then I'm going to see about returning it. If it still fills the house with the dog smell after cleaning it all again and knowing 100% my carpets are clean, (one room the girls haven't even been in there since it was cleaned), then I will know it's not from anything in my home.
