My husband farted down the vacuum cleaner hose, now the house stinks when ever I turn it on....?

Question

how do I get rid of the smell?

Yes Graham H, he is a forward. Those poor guy's behind him! I take soup and sandwiches to the games on saturday by way of an apology, I feel kind of responsible. I don't know why.

Answer 1

OMG!!! LMAO!! How old is your husband?? 2 ?? He farted in the hose... WTF is he thinking???? LOL!!! I would suggest taking the vaccum apart (MAKE HIM DO THIS!!!) and washing everything... then spray some febreeze and maybe lysol down the hose.. And buy carpet fresh (the powder kind) and put it in the bag, or cup.. whichever your vaccum has..

Answer 2

And the reason you married this douche bag is?

You can remove the smell by buying pellets from the store which you can put into the vacuum cleaner.

An easier solution is to spinkle baking soda on the carpet before you vacuum. This works very well. I do it all the time, and no one farted down my vacuum cleaner's hose.

Answer 3

Lordy! That sounds like something my husband would do! LOL! I put carpet fresh in a new bag whenever I put one on. It smells nice. Sometimes, if I don't have that, I'll spray the bag with alittle of my favorite perfume first. But the carpet fresh works best in the bag. Just sprinkle some in a new bag and put it on. Should work.

Answer 4

If it lasted for more than one clean it is a bit more substantial than a fart. I suggest talking the bag off, taking it to the local tip and burning it to avoid contaminating the area then buy a new bag.

PS, Rent a pickup for the day and take it in the back but try to keep to unused roads for the protection of other road users.

PPS. Rugby Wife, do they let him on the front row in the scrum?

Answer 5

Replace the bag. Then turn on the vaccuum cleaner and spray fabreeze into the hose. Repeat this process three or four times, and the odor should be gone. Good luck!

Answer 6

The smell should go in a while; if not buy some fresheners for the vacuum.

And if he does it next time, stick the vacuum on while he's doing it, the dirty man!

Answer 7

Go to the spa and make him vacuum while you're gone :) If he refuses then go out and buy the most expensive vacuum that you can find and when he gripes remind him why you "had" to do it.
**BTW why in the heck did he fart in the vacuum? That must have been one fierce fart to be sticking around this long. Maybe he sharted?!?! In that case def. go get a new vacuum!

Answer 8

sturdy one! :-P I did accidently!!! i became coming domicile with my vacume I purely had repaired, it became a Hoover. the different motor vehicle I had on the time became a hatch lower back. nicely, the clip on it had broken and that i became travelling down the line lower back domicile while the lower back flew open and my vacume took off, hit the floor........................ i became using like 60 on that parkway and searching my rear view window at my horror, the "unfavorable element" became sparking in all places and different automobiles have been dodging it in that is bypass because it became litterly cruising backwards at intense speed! I in actual fact desire it did no longer reason any injuries yet i'm going to have been noted for that. inspite of the reality that, I had the lower back door fixed and have a distinctive motor vehicle now. As for the unfavorable Hoover, it went to the vast "Pearly" gates interior the sky!!!!!!!!!!!! :-( +(

Answer 9

Change the paper sack, Put in a scented capsule that you can get to smell nice, Stick the pipe back up his a*se and run the vacume in reverse ( lol )

Answer 10

Hmmm, very interesting.

Are you sure he didn't 'follow through' into the hose?

Might be wiser to buy a new vacuum cleaner.

Answer 11

Light a scented candle and let the aroma waft up the hose.

As a preventative measure - don't feed your husband until he stops playing pranks like this one.
