Empty trash cans or bags
Most of the dirt is stored in the trash can, and if you wait until the trash can is full, food debris can give off an unpleasant smell. So clean the trash can regularly and change the bags. Check the trash bags frequently to prevent odors.
Clean filter

Clean up with baking soda
Baking soda is a must-have household cleaner because it absorbs odors well. You'll need to remove the parts from the vacuum cleaner and wipe them with a rag with baking soda. Make sure they're dry before reassembling.
Brushes and hoses

There will also be a smell in the hose, and you need to wash it thoroughly with hot water. The process of cleaning the hose is also described in detail.
Finally, you can choose to use some perfume or fragrance. For example, use some rosemary to add smell. Or put a perfume pad of the right size in the filter to maintain a good smell.
