Hello! I have GENUINE Kirby bag deodorizer and many other Kirby products in my eBay store. (click on link to visit)

There is also a way to clean the cloth bag to remove the odor...

Remove the cloth bag assembly from the Kirby by rotating the "boot" away from the machine and pushing the clip release at the top.

You will see a "zip strip/cable tie" like strap that holds the cloth bag onto the boot. Using a flathead screwdriver, pry upward underneath this strip and it will come apart, (don't worry...you can squeeze it back together with pliers) allowing you to pull the cloth bag off of the boot. Don't forget to unhook the black strap at the top of the fill tube that holds the fill tube up. Feed the top clip down through the bag topper to remove the topper.

***SPECIAL TIP FOR HERITAGE MODELS...They don't have a zip strip...just elastic around the bottom. Just detach the cloth strap that connects to the top of the black fill tube, remove the rubber ring around the bottom of the cloth bag and remove the cloth bag from the emptor by sliding the elastic down over the boot and off the end. It will take some pulling, but it will come off. You can't hurt it, so PULL!! Then, detach the bag topper by pulling the metal "arms" (one side at a time) out of the creases in the top of the cloth bag.

Now, machine wash the cloth bag on gentle or short cycle and HANG dry. (DO NOT place cloth bag in dryer, as it will melt the rubber at the bottom) Put the boot/fill tube assembly into a sink full of hot water and detergent and clean it up too.

Reassemble the cloth bag and secure it with the bag clamp strap, put the topper back on and reattach the strip that holds the fill tube up.
