My vacuum was smelling some and not working as well. Me and my hubby took off the rollers and disconnected the hoses and washed them. It looked like there was some Triss poo stuck in the roller brushes and the hoses smelled like it too. We cleaned it and sanatized it with Lysol and now its better. I also bought a new filter. (I have a brown area rug, so I mustve not seen the accident and went over it.)
Also, whenever I have to clean up a smelly mess, like a hairball from my cat or my son got something stuck under the fridge, I use baking soda. I make a paste with it using a bit of water and rubbing alcohol. I use a little brush and clean up the spot.
(Off topic, but a funny little story about british accents. I downloaded a little free counting game for my brother when he was young. I let him play it with the headphones while I did other stuff in the house. I didnt realize it was a british game and whenever my brother counted he used the accent. It took a while to get him to stop, but it was sooo cute. And he kept calling baby strollers a fram? Is this right? I had never heard the word.)
