Advantages: Lovely smell at a great price

Disadvantages: Probably some stays in your carpets

When I first bought a flat that me and my girlfriend now live in one of the first things I noticed was the person living in it before us was obviously a smoker. The place smelt of stale smoke.

They first day I bought it I opened all the windows and aired it out for a few days and got rid of the horrible curtains that were up, which seemed to store a lot of the smoke smell, and put some blinds in.

I painted all the ceilings, walls and doors to freshen the whole place up but there was still this faint smell of smoke which was bugging me.
I knew it had to be the carpets but it seemed such a shame to get rid of them as they were newish carpets and the perfect colour for the colour I had used on the walls.

When I went shopping one day I saw citrus burst Shake n Vac. I had never heard of it before but noticed it was only 90p so I thought its worth ago.
I sprinkled it on the carpets and left for about 2 minutes and hovered the carpets. The whole place instantly smelt lovely. I can't explain how lovely the smell was and how pleasing it was to have that smell gone.

I don't use Shake n Vac everytime I Hoover, but once every couple of months I use it and its wonderful. I cannot smell smoke no more and leaves the whole place smelling lovely.

Obviously the smell doesn't last for ever but I can usually still smell it for a good day or two and the staleness of the smoke is non existent anymore.

Im not claiming Shake n Vac to be a miracle cure, but I was very pleased with the outcome.

I have since read some reviews on here and noticed a very bad one about how it ruins your Hoover and your carpets. I have used a few times now and my Hoover is still working fine with no sand like substance on it. I can quite believe that when you Hoover it up you don't get all of it up and it stays in your carpet but it hasn't ruined mine so far, touch wood :)

Summary: I love shake n vac
