Thank you ever sooo much Mr. Williams, my friend and I was browsing in a thrift store and I saw a Kirby, I was like oh my goodness, they still have those vacuums?? my friend was like what vacuum? I said that Kirby!! Mom had one back in the late 50's, all I remember was that it made this scarey suction noise, used to scare us kids! but made our carpets so nice and clean. Anyway, I purchased a G6 with all the attachments - how lucky, the only problem is the bag is so dirty and dusty and I need bags - I am so glad to come across your video. Again thanks - by the way you have a Million Dollar Smile!!! Stay Blessed.

@colterkardas41053 жыл бұрын
I LOVE my Kirby... however, my bag starts to smell after the first use and after it sits in the closet for a week... I have had it serviced/cleaned several times and the fresh clean smell lasts just until I start vacuuming again... because of this, I usually use my Rainbow because it never stinks... Any ideas of what I can use in my Kirby bags to help prolong the life of the disposable bags???
@monroevac3 жыл бұрын
I would try washing the outer bag first. Then try put a dryer sheets in the bag..between the disposable bag and the zipper. I think you would start to notice a difference.

Aaaaaahhh!!!! My three least favorite words, "There you go". For me it is crazy, mine looked nothing like that when I "thought" I'd finished. Don't get me wrong, the instructions were great. I guess it's just me these days, my tool handling skills has diminished to utensils. You make it look so easy, and I know it is, and that is what's so frustrating. The first time I finished, the tube was in backwards and the clip wound up on the wrong side...I had a dangling bag, but it surely did smell better as it dragged across the floor!

Omgosh I am going to do this today! My vacuum smells like my dog that passed last year. I have changed the bags and cleaned out everything. It is probably the outer bag! 🤞

I have an Electrolux upright that uses disposable bags. How do I get the odors out of that? I've changed bags, wiped out the inside with all kinds of things and used Lysol, baking soda, etc.

jTempVids great. I dont have any Avalirs right now. But if you decide to settle for a Sentria, you can contact us using the email through the back channel or monroevacuums.com- we can get you a refurbushed unit. food for thought

I know this is a fairly old video but would it also be helpful to clean the hose (that comes out of that bag) by hand? My daughter has animals & borrowed a vacuum a few times over the years and it has a bad odor I can’t get rid of even if I wash the bag, any advice is greatly appreciated. Ty

Yes you should clean the hose and the mini emtor. I'll have to make a new video and add that also. Thanks

How do you remove bag from a Kirby G4? connection at top is different than your video
@monroevac2 жыл бұрын
Should be about the same the only big difference in bags for the Generation series is with the. G3- the top of the removes the same for rest of the units-The design and thickness of the rubber maybe slightly different but the method is the same. Hold the rubber cover and wiggle the latch through the opening
@ambermlively255 жыл бұрын
Do you know why on the official website FAQ it says they do NOT recommend washing the outer bag or even getting the outer bag wet? My Kirby has a musty odor when I use it so I’d like to wash it as long as it’s not going to cause any issues.
@davidgray39175 жыл бұрын
When you send it in, they wash it. Use cold water and let it air dry. Should be fine.
