Glade Shake N Vac

Made by Glade which is part of SC Johnson Wax & Sons INC, this carpet freshener powder was made famous by the long haired dog and its owner swinging and singing to a catchy little song, "You do the Shake 'n' Vac and put the freshness back..." whilst optimistically pushing a green Hoover Ranger about the floor as if it was a lightweight mop! (It wasn't as my parents had the same cleaner model and they can testify it was like pushing a sack of potatoes across the floor.) Over the last 10 years or so, companies such as "Neutradol" and other powders readily available on the market, such as "Febreeze" have taken over the ...  Read the complete review

Having pets and children, I generally prefer wooden, laminate, tile or other hard surface flooring in order to keep the house clean. We do however have carpet in the lounge, and it is rather nice to have especially on a cold day, and on the stairs, to help prevent slips. While I do vacuum daily, and shampoo every so often, every now and again an extra bit of freshening is nice to have. While ordinary bicarbonate of soda will generally absorb any odours actually present, it is not a super cheap alternative at supermarket prices, and Glade’s Shake n Vac does provide an easy alternative with the added bonus of a nice scent. Coming in a few ...  Read the complete review

I had my niece to stay the other night and as she's laid on the carpet in front of the TV she says "Oooh Auntie Anne your carpet smells all fruity" so I guess the shake 'n' vac does work then, because before it used to smell (albeit very slightly) of dog! So what is shake 'n' vac? Well I'm sure most of you know because you've either used it or you've seen the ads where the woman dances round the room shaking it all over and then vacuuming it up all the times singing that annoying "do the shake and vac and put the freshness back" song! So, shake 'n' vac is a white powder it comes in various scents but my favourite is the Citrus ...  Read the complete review

Glade Shake and Vac: I like to have a fresh smelling home but seeing as I smoke, have a cat and there are two men plus me living here it's not always easy! One of the ways I tackle the problem is using Glade Shake and Vac, I don't use it too often just once a month to keep the carpets fresh. Glade Shake and Vac is basically a highly scented powder with a texture somewhere between talc and sand. It comes in a green plastic tub, (recyclable), with a lid that allows you to sprinkle the product over the floor. I would actually like more of a sifter style lid because the current packaging doesn't make it very easy to evenly distribute the powder and I ...  Read the complete review

I do like a nice clean and tidy house, along with that I love a nice smelling house. I often have a scented candle burning away or I am busy spraying air freshner around. Every now and again I also use Shake n Vac on my carpets (I have them in my lounge, stairs and landing and bedrooms) It really does freshen up the carpets as well as leave a long lasting smell. THE PRODUCT ~~~~~~~~~ Shake n Vac is sold in the United Kingdom by the company S C Johnson. There is many people who must still think of the lyrics " Do the shake n vac, put the freshness back..." when they think of this product. I do and I was not around when the catchy ...  Read the complete review
