Vacuum Pearls, 5.25 OZ

I love these vacuum beads! They work well at reducing the odors from your vacuum. I think we all know how that goes. Where even after cleaning them out and whatnot, sometimes they just have a smell that refuses to go away.The bead format I find works really well too. It helps to actually distribute the scent around the vacuum. That said, the scent is just a sort of a fresh, clean, citrusy type. It's not overpowered at all and because it's beads, you can adjust as you need. You can alwyas start with a little and add more later if you prefer.These are also safer for your machine. An old trick you could do was to suck up a small cotton ball with a little essential oil on it. The problem is, essential oils can be messy, eat plastic and degrade them by themselves, and cause dirty to stick inside too. These beads help prevent damage to your machine without any worry of stickiness or clogging too.These beads will also last a long time. I actually use them for long term storage and use. I have several vacuum, each for different usages, and sometimes they sit for a bit when I'm busy. A small cap of these inside the bag or tank keep them fresh and smelling good in-between uses.These are also essential for robot vacuums! I don't change my bag on my robot for a couple months and they always start to stick. Once a month I put in a small cap of beads and it keeps it from smelling terrible!So why one star off? My only complaint is I wish they were a little cheaper, OR the bottle was just a bit bigger for the same price. If you need to vacuum frequently, you may go through them a bit faster, especially with a bagless machine. Otherwise they are great!

Great product!! Added to vacuum and it smells really fresh!

You know how you get a stale musty smell in the garage when you use the central vac? We use these crystals in our central vac, our upright and two hand held. They are very effective and leave a fresh odor. It's amazing how a small capfull works for weeks. :)

I use this sparingly in my canister, upright and handheld vacuums. I like that it helps keep the units fresher particularly the bagless upright and handheld vacuums. I wish the scent was more of a natural scent but it’s the only product I’ve found for this purpose. I’ve purchased it for over a decade now.

The jury is still out as to whether this product is great, mediocre, or in the trash. Even with new filters and bags, there was still a stale odor coming from my fairly new bagged vacuum cleaner - I presume it is from pet hair - so I purchased these odor eliminating beads. At first smell from the bottle, I did not find it pleasant at all - there was a faint odor of moth balls. And that is the last thing I would want in my home, since once that smell gets in things it is difficult to get out. But the description mentions there is only natural spices, etc. - I did not smell any 'notes' of those things...it smells like chemicals. But I gave it a try. It isn't bad and there were no lingering scents - so I'm not sure it really gets in the air. That is good - I only wanted it to deodorize the bag and vacuum. For that I gave it 4 stars. If it keeps my vacuum bags odor free between discards, that will excellent and I'll change it to 5 stars.
