Re: central vacuum hose smells!

Try contacting your local vacuum cleaner repair shop.

Some manufacturers make a hose sock. It's made to slip

over your vacuum cleaner hose to prevent your hose

from leaving scuff marks on hardwood floors and

furniture. It may help in reducing your sensitivity to

the nylon from your new vacuum cleaner hose. Good Luck

I love my central vacuum system and couldn't imagine being without it. So

will you once you have a non-toxic hose. How long is the hose? I have a

60' and 75' long hose.

Where I live we have two types of hoses; vinyl and hard plastic. The vinyl

I cannot tolerate, the plastic caused me no problems after a few days

outside a mild wash. Perhaps you can contact the supplier and see if they

have a plastic hose and ask them to cut a foot or two off for you to try out

at home.

BAKING SODA RINSE INSIDE? OR MAYBE WHITE VINEGAR? AND THEN LEAVE IT DRY OUT ,

OUT IN THE WARM SUNSHINE.

[] central vacuum hose smells!

Due to MCS and triggers everywhere, my husband drilled holes for a central

vacuum and we installed it the unit in the basement.

Id love to start using it, but the hose itself absolutely stinks. I guess its

vinyl and I just didnt think about it. I have left it outside for over a month

now. Its been hailed on, rained on, and had sun hit it - we even had a local guy

run an ozone machine in a room with it.

Its back and outside and still smelling.

Ideas???

Rosie - What company did you buy from?

I just hung up from BEAM - and I have all the holes drilled and the machine

mounted in the basement. Its an expensive investment, and they tell me that they

only have vinyl.

Very bad news.- Im sort of left hanging here....wondering about rigging

soemthing else up somehow.

Hi :

I bought ours about 12-13 years ago when we first moved into this home from

a small local vacuum store. Don't recall name; however I shop close by

every Wednesday and will stop and inquire for you. I think why most hoses

are vinyl rather than plastic is due to their ease of handling; plastic is

sturdier and more difficult to use especially in long lenghts such as mine

are. Our home came with the built-in vacuum system but no hoses nor

attachments.

Yes, a central vacuum system is expensive; I'm curious how you installed the

central vacuum lines within the house without having to tear out the

sheetrock?

How long do your hoses need to be? Just had a thought; might not look

pretty, and would have to be replaced periodically; however it would protect

you. That is to wrap the hose with Dennyfoil; you can purchase the dennyfoil

online 2 " wide and just wrap the entire hose and replace as necessary. I've

done this before with some vinyl items I couldn't off-gas.

Hope this helps,

Rosie
