While strolling down the “Hardware Aisle” on ThisOldHouse.com, we found this great story on Hide-A-Hose central vacs. In answer to the editor’s question about what to do when your kid, or grandkid, in this case stuffs scallops down your central vac hose: 1) Mac and Cheese – kids love it! 2) Tornado Wipes. Put a few of these wipes in the hose and they will help remove odors. Even pet hair odors.
