After spotting a new viral tea bag hack to banish odors when vacuuming, I had to give it a go. As a seasoned vacuum tester, I know how clearing up crumbs, debris and pet hair with your appliance can leave a lingering scent behind, so if there's an opportunity to avoid that, I'm taking it.
I'm Homes & Gardens' home tech editor, and have spent more than 200 hours thoroughly testing vacuums and the various hacks people come up with, so I had to give this tea bag trick a go.
