Well if you try very hard, anything can kill your vacuum; however, I use baking soda regularly for testing, and it's never hurt any of my more than 80 vacuums. So no, baking soda used properly, won't hurt either.
@@VacLab fair enough. I used baking soda once and it was not a good experience. This product really worked well in my opinion and my carpets strangely felt softer and more conditioned. Something I had been trying to remedy
I have used this before and while it does smell nice, I do not use it anymore. It liked to clog my Kirby bags. It probably wouldn’t hurt if you used it every once in a blue moon, but not every single time you vacuum, which for me is every other day.
When you tear out your carpet to replace it with new carpet or hard wood you’ll find all of the left over powder on the ground. That’s what happened with me after years and years of using this (small amounts at a time)
Nailed it with use every time on they want you to buy more of their product. I'd also only use it in a machine with a bag that was about to be replaced so it doesn't clog a new bag.
I think the sample size was a little small to truly see the effect this stuff has. It''s certainly not going to kill the vacuum from a use or two like some may say but as you've said it will build up in the carpeting over time and such fine particles also clog filters/bags quite easily. and then when the filters/bags clog it'll make it's way through or around them make it's way into the motor, into the bearings. and eventually lead to the demise of those. I had a friend who didn't have a normal vacuum, he only had a little bissell handheld who regularly used carpet freshner. My poor miracle mate clogged up pretty quickly despite how little floor space there was. I didn't think to bring spare bags as he hadn't mentioned the powder. Ended up having to wash the clog bag after that one as quite a bit got through the bag. I will also say that as a former, part time, vacuum tech. Machines which smelled of carpet fresh were usually pretty rough, and i will not suggest these products to anyone.
The complaint was that any use of carpet fresh or the like immediately corrupts the vacuum motor and can be seen to blow right out of the exhaust immediately. Obviously none of that was the case. 🤣 So if I put down the same density but a greater total (larger carpet total area), eventually, the bin would fill up of course. It's been many years since I used an entire container of this stuff, but when I did, I had no issues. Of course, I emptied the bin and cleaned the filters. I will add that the average user has no clue how to use a vacuum and that's when I see and grab many curb finds. Many have unintentional clogs, but some (drywall dust) are intentional.
when i use it i lightly spritz it , a little goes a long way. when you have 2 cats and a dog and people dander adds up and can cause odor well especially with a dog.
A lot of products' instructions tell you to use way more than necessary! My mom taught me this. It's the same thing as people using too much laundry detergent and softener and it gunks up the machine
I'm curious, do the carpet fresh companies not test this stuff on different vacuums and stuff? You would think if so many vacuums are getting ruined or breaking down because of it that the companies would be having lots of problems and would have to change something. I feel like it wouldn't still be on the shelves all these years later if it really caused that many problems? I currently have a shark vacuum. I've never tried anything with it before. However I do get my husband to blow it out with an air compressor every month or so and I rinse the sponge filter. I haven't used carpet fresh type products in years but recently bought some because the house my husband and I just bought 2 yrs ago is about 20yrs old and I have no idea how old the carpet is and now with 2 cats and 2 dogs in and out and a husband that comes home in dirty work boots every day I felt the need to freshen the carpet up a bit until I get the chance to clean it. I never had issues with this stuff in the past when using my mom's old Kirby from the late 80s lol but am now scared to use it again. I was always light handed with her vacuum but heavy handed with it at my ex's house. I don't remember what kind of vacuum he had but it was a bagged vac I remember that. No problems with it surprisingly lol
I don't know if they still make it or not, but I remember Kirby making a type of 'Carpet Fresh' at one time. I bought the cinnamon scented when I used it.
they still make it. u can get it direct from there website. amazon and ebay also got it. comes in 3 scents Spring Fresh, Citrus Original, Cinnamon. they also have those scent tabs u put in the bag that have a lemon scent.
It does clog the vacuum but what vacuum doesn’t need a good deep cleaning. Take it apart and clean every piece even cut all the strings and hair out of the roller and you’ll have a brand new vacuum
The whole point of the video was to show that it doesn't clog the vacuum under reasonable circumstances. That being said, cleaning the cleaner is always recommended. 👍
@@VacLab it doesn’t clog it on it’s own but if you ever let anything wet touch that vacuum it will get hard as a rock lol. I guess I should say don’t vacuum over anything wet if you use carpet powders lol
@@its-amemegatron.9521 if your Kirby is burning through belts, the nozzle height is set too low. Kirby recommends on setting the nozzle height one click down at a time until you hear a change in the sound of the motor but I usually set in one click down until I hear the brush roll hit the floor and always have good results and by doing that, the belts on my Kirby’s last quite some time before I need to change them. Another thing that can happen when you set the nozzle height too low is you hamper the cleaning performance since you are restricting the airflow not not mention it makes the vacuum very difficult to use on the lowest setting on medium pile and medium plush carpeting.
My cousin uses this for once a month and they used to have a shark nv352 and it still would work but then a piece of the pod broke and now they have the shark navigator zero-m and they have had it for almost a year and it is still alive and I will probably show this to them but they recently got rid of there carpet and now have hard wood and they seem to like there Roomba 670 a lot more with the hard wood
So me and my wife use glade carpet powder ALL THE TIME. I’ve had the same cheap Dirt Devil for six years and my house is eleven years old with the same carpeting. I don’t understand what you’re on about.
Uh, it not what I'm on about, it's what the vacuum community has been saying falsely for years. That carpet fresh type products kill vacuums instantly, which is clearly not the case.
Well I have used it for a long time and I have a shark vacuum I thought it was broken but I took it apart the filter just needs to be cleaned every so often it's like brand new
!!!!! I don't think newer vacuums are made for that stuff! I put baking soda on the floor as i have from time to time... Messed up my shark somehow! Guess it got on the diodes (metal connections whatever), had to buy a new extension wand
id love to see that reenacted i have used carpet fresh on all my vacuumes never had an issue and i have used about 100 or so. kirby's hoover shark,dyson,panasonic,kenmore,dirt devil,bissell.amway, direct air ,by pass , pleeted filter , cyclonic. the only thing is you have to clean out the cyclones just like you should anyhow and keep off of wet or damp surfaces and you should be fine.
@@VacLab But have you tested Sharks? They are full of computer circuitry and motherboards. Just because you haven't had issues on vacuums you use but once in 5 months doesn't make anyone else invalid. People that use their vacuums every day will encounter issues at a rapid pace then someone who had 1000 vacuums and only touches one for a video then never touches it again. When this perfume powder is picked up, it gets pulverized and goes everywhere. It's the same as sucking up sand. The dust gets through the panel gaps, settles on the microchips and circuit boards, in that guys case it got on the connector pins for the powerhead, shorts out the traces, and kaboom you're fried. Would you like to see my DC series Dyson that was from an RV awning manufacturer in Wisconsin that used it as a lobby vacuum that has a dead circuit board covered in plastics manufacturing dust which has rendered the entire vacuum inoperable?
@@huskyvacs I've tested at least 6 Sharks to date with baking soda. And remember, I'm not considering flat out abuse, which I covered extensively in the video. Many people are blatent abusers and that's how I get many curb finds. 5 curb finds have been Sharks so far. No dead circuit boards.

Better choice is foaming carpet perfume. This stuff is a vacuum killer no question. It cakes up in all the suction channels, and gets pulverized into the filters.

Stopped working how? Just totally died? No power? Loss of suction? If people can't be helpful don't bother commenting. Y'all are worse than Amazon questions and answers people.
@@bennysticky Yeah that would be from the carpet powder clogging it up. Just as a test for a very short time, take all the filters out and run the vacuum over the carpet. See if your suction improves. If so, then you know it's the filter(s) that got ruined. Both the bin filter and the exhaust filter.
So Arm & Hammers claim of the product being a "vacuum booster" and removing "25% more dirt" is clearly false and misleading. Leaves more dirt in then when you start! I would know that off the bat, but the average person for whom this product is marketed would probably have no idea. Class action lawsuit, anyone?
Ah, you've actually misinterpreted what they claim. It says removes more dirt, not having anything to do with the original amount put down. Dirt, not baking soda.
