I am about to do the vacuuming soon - and I was in the mood to add carpet deodoriser powder. My last vacuum (a cheap one) got clogged up so badly from the powder and I wondered if the Dyson will get clogged up from the carpet powder? Has anyone used it with their dyson?

Ta!

I ruined a Dyson with the Arm and Hammer Carpet stuff. It has a fine powdery texture and it coats everything inside the vacum. I now use some stuff called Nilofresh, it has a more granular texture. I got it from the janitorial supply store where I got the vacum I have now and it is supposed to be safe for vacums. I have been using it for a year and a half now and have had no problems.

I think carpet deodorizer is bad for a kitty's health too.
Someone can clarify that...but I'm pretty sure I've heard that somewhere.

I did some research and decided against it - there is a specialised carpet deodoriser for dysons - zorb - so I will look into it and find out if it is safer than the general powder.

As far as being safe for pets I think it is like other household items, some is safe and some isn't. The Nilofresh is supposed to be safe for both children and pets. Once went I went to buy some they were almost out and the only one they had was the original scent. I got one of those and when I used it I recognized the scent. It was used in my elementary school so it has been around more years than I care to think about.
