to use shake and vac?

[superv1xen]

have always used it as i like the way it leaves a nice smell and also you can see where you have been so you know you have done everywhere IYSWIM?

but someone has recently told me it can make your carpets dirtier AND damage your hoover?? is this true?

VERY sorry for boring choice of thread subject btw

I love shake and vac it smells divine. :) I have no idea about it breaking hoovers or dirtying carpets though.

Great thread - made me smile.

i need a life dont i haha :o

I love the orange blossom Shake 'n' Vac. It just smells so clean. No idea about hoover damage though, I've had mine for 5 years and it seems ok!

Which flavour smells the nicest?

Ooh orange blossom obviously!

You can only use it if you put on a flippy skirt and do the dance when you use it.

I've got that stripy skirt from Joules that the mother in Grandpa in my Pocket wears. Will that do?

It does tend to block up your vacuum filters - but then so does dust LOL so you may as well block them up with summat that smells good IMO!

I hope you don't have brown velour sofas like hers though.

Now I've got that bloody jingle stuck in my head

oooh i dont think i have used the orange blossom one, it sounds really nice, i will have to have a look for it. i usually use the magnolia and vanilla.

well i guess the general consensus so far is it doesnt damage hoovers or make carpets dirty :o

I LOVE it. Only problem is that my DH normally does the hoovering and complains when I chuck down the S and V that it gets all over his socks.

I know I'm not the only one from the US originally so I'm just going to add that when I saw this thread title, I thought of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shake_%27n_Bake. I would also like to add that it, too, has a catchy advert ("and I HELPED!!")

I've never heard of this product but we had something similar back home er, for fleas our pets brought in. No pets now, but I'd love to see what that orange blossom smells like!

I used to use it until I was told that it actually rots your carpet. Apparently, it gets down into the roots so to speak and stays there doing its damage. Dunno, but I don't use it anymore.

sorry Toughas

And just to add that it was a professional carpet cleaning company that told me that. Don't know if maybe it's when the deeprooted S n V gets wet it rots...sounds feasible though.

Of course YANBU - it puts the freshness back you know.

oh god fivegoldrings thats a similar story to what i was told :( maybe it IS true then

although the fact it came from a carpet cleaning company makes me a bit suspicious tho tbh

When I was a kid, I covered the living room carpet in talc as a response to the advert.

Inexplicably, my mum didn't hoover it up whilst dancing and singing a happy tune

ROFL tethersend :o

bet that didnt hoover up easily, its so fine.
