I was so excited to try this one. Ah, fall, and the warm and delicious smell of cinnamon!
I saw a tip on Pinterest to sprinkle some ground cinnamon on the floor, vacuum it up and continue vacuuming the rest of your house. This is just plain old cinnamon, the one I use for baking. The idea is that as the vacuum heats up, the cinnamon smell will fill the air.
Did it work?
In a word, no. I put about a tablespoon of cinnamon on the floor, vacuumed it up and hoped for a delicious cinnamon smell to fill the air. But I was left flat. This Pinterest tip is not a keeper. I really wish it worked. Maybe if I sprinkle my rugs? No, even if they did smell nice that way, the cinnamon has potential to stain. I don't want to do that.
It's too bad, I thought this idea had great potential. Looks like this is one I'll be deleting off my DIY boards!

Update: Days later I smelled the faint scent of cinnamon while vacuuming. It was so faint that I had to stick my nose to my vacuum to confirm it. I still don't recommend this idea.

Darn I was excited when I read your title, I love cinnamon and have a "stale" odor from the vacuum. Maybe sprinkle some inside the vacuum bag?
ReplyDeleteIt's a canister, but I could put some inside. Funny thing is, a week later I smelled it very faintly while I was vacuuming. Maybe It has to sit in there for a while.
DeleteOh, I was so excited when I saw your title, so I share your disappointment! Ah, well. It was definitely worth a try, though. ~Jeanine
ReplyDeleteA week later, after I had emptied the vacuum there was a faint smell. I think maybe it got into the filter.
DeleteOh sorry it didn't work. I would love to smell cinnamon when I vacuum.
ReplyDeleteI know, right? Maybe I could try more next time.
DeleteI was wondering if it worked and if so I had been going to try it out. So thank you for saving me the time. In the meantime no, I don't have any Pinterest fails.
ReplyDeleteIt might work better with more cinnamon or a bag vacuum.
DeleteObviously, she didn't purchase that brilliant, sparkly new canister vacuum that day. We stayed with the one that did the activity. Today there are such a significant number of vacuums available it appears to be practically difficult to know which one to purchase. Refinery overhead systems.
