Henry STINKS

[Jade&Evie]

My hoover stinks of cheesy feet.

I've changed the bag- that hasn't helped. How do I wash the filter? x

Hmmm not sure how you'd clean it as I don't have one of those Henry ones. Some are machine washable (I THINK!) but other than that is it expensive for a new one?

I know the feeling though... Almost a week since we rehomed George and it still smells like dog every time I flick the hoover on

I rinse my fiters under the tap then pop them on the radiator to dry.

Hope that helps.

I washed the filter and then found a label on it..... "DO NOT WASH"

Opps - maybe it might shrink a bit or something - did you wash it on a low temp? oh well its done now jade not much you can do

Just dry it and hope your house no longer smells cheesey feet.

I give up.... I'm going back to bed before the day can get any worse. evie has just eaten half of my favourite lipstick

Awww... maybe the filter will be ok, you never know. I agree... you should go back to bed for an hour and then get up and start the day again!

Is it a cloth filter? if so p[ut some essential oil on it to freshen it up or pop a cotton wool ball with some on in the hoover bag.

You can get special capsules to put in em to make it smell but havent seen em for years!! Shake n vac some times helps but id go with the essential oils

You can get the capsules at Morrisons. My mum gave me some lavender ones, dunno if they do other scents or not. Also, I've seen them at Range and a couple of pound shops (I'm classy!) as well
