Hi!, This is Jim with Crucial Vacuum

If you're looking to get nasty odors out of your vacuum the best approach would be to thoroughly clean all detachable parts, including the canister with hot soapy water. Allow these parts to fully dry before reinstalling!

For those hard to reach places a handy way to get a fresh smell in your vacuum would be to disperse baking soda on your carpets, let it sit for 30 minutes, and then vacuum as you would normally. This will not only give the inside of your vacuum a cleaning, but will leave your carpets smelling fresh as well.

If you're looking for any replacement parts, or accessories for your Dyson vacuum you can purchase direct from Crucial Vacuum with free shipping and an exclusive 10% coupon for Fixya.com readers, use code: FIXYA10

I don't agree with the suggestions of adding a scented oil, this masks the smell at best. The way to fix this is to clean every part thoroughly, and to soak the filter in cider vinegar to clean it since soap will ruin it. I have found that this will get rid of the smell right away. Worst case is you can buy a replacement filter, which is not expensive on Amazon.

I personally have a DC-07 and I place several drops of lavender oil on the filter. Makes all the difference.

SOURCE: how to get rid of dog smell

I had this problem along with a clogged filter. I used the solution for clogged filter here on Fixya and the dog smell went away too. It has to do with the flange on the cylinder getting pushed up out of position. Give it a try.

    Hi there,

    The course of action we'd recommend would depend on the model of Dyson cleaner you own, which you haven't specified in your question. It's probably best if you get in touch with us directly so one of our experts can determine which model you have, and run through some troubleshooting checks with you over the phone. If you're based in the UK, you can call us free on 08002980298. If you're based in the US, you can call free on 1866MYDYSON. We look forward to hearing from you.

    Kind regards,

      SOURCE: my dyson animal ball smells.

      Hi there,

      Sorry to hear you're having difficulties with your Dyson cleaner. If your machine smells, it may be because the filters weren't completely dry when you replaced them after washing them. There are a few steps you can take to remedy this:

      • Re-wash both filters, following the steps shown in the video embedded below, and make sure they're totally dry before replacing them. It may help to leave them under a radiator for at least 24 hours.
      • Remove the clear bin and cyclone assembly from the cleaner, and separate the two parts.
      • Wash the clear bin, and try tapping the cyclone assembly gently to dislodge any damp dust which might be caught up inside. Do not wash the cyclone assembly, and make sure the clear bin is totally dry before reassembling both parts and replacing on the cleaner.
      Here is a copy of the cleaner's user guide, in case you don't have yours to hand:

      http://media.dyson.com/downloads/us/floorcare/manuals/dc25_opmanual_usa.pdf

      Following these steps should help you resolve your issue. However, if you try this and are still concerned about your cleaner, or if you have any difficulties carrying out these steps, it's probably best if you get in touch with us directly. One of our experts will be happy to provide further assistance - you can call us free on 08002980298 (UK), or 1866MYDYSON (US).

        SOURCE: how many filters in the Dyson DC23 canister

        Hi Julie,

        In normal use, DC23's filter should be washed at least once every 3-6 months, as shown in the video below. Use cold water without detergent, and allow at least 24 hours for it to dry completely before replacing it.

        The HEPA post-motor filter does not need maintenance, and is designed to last the lifetime of the machine.

        If you have any further questions about using or maintaining your machine, please call us free on 0800 298 0298 (UK), or 1-866-693-9766 (US).

        Cleaning my Dyson DC 23

        It could be a deteriorating belt. I have a Dyson and love it, cannot think of anything that would smell but burnt rubber.

        I've had my Dyson dc23 for about two years and

        The brushes wear down over time as you have noticed. they are easily ordered online. Google "Dyson dc23 replacemanet parts" there are a lot of retailers for parts. Find one that is local to you, you can either pick one up from a local retailer or order one and have it delivered. I found one for $24 here is the link for you;
        Dyson dc23. Don't know what the delivery charge would be for you as I don't know where you are. Ebay and Amazon should carry them also if you have premium account with either you may get them delivered for free. Good luck

        I Have the Dyson dc23 animal stowaway canister motorhead. i want to clean the upper orange section as it is starting to hold the smell of dogs and dust but i can only seem to find videos on the upright...

        Hi Ashley,

        I have the DC17 Animal and my assumption would be that you could clean your canister the same way as you could clean an upright.

        I've found Dyson's site pretty useful (for this specific question it may be outside their scope but maybe worth a try) http://www.dyson.com/support.aspx

        I hope that's at least somewhat helpful.

        It might not be the filter! The hose, canister and suction vanes on the motor also can cause that smell!!

        How can I eliminate dog smell in my DC23

        On a cotton ball, put a few drops of eucalyptus oil, or lavender oil. Then suck the cotton ball up the vacuum. It will leave the vacuum smelling nice, and will kill any flea eggs as well.
