This was posted on a another forum (the bichon one I am on). I know some folks on here have Dyson vacuums, so I thought I would share this.
It is now one year since we got a new Dyson vacuum cleaner and a new puppy.
With new puppies there is a fair bit of cleaning up puddles etc and according to the books I used a mixture of water, white vinegar and a sprinkling of baking soda to clean up messes and remove the odor so that the puppy would not be attracted to the same area again and again.
Well last week I was vacuuming the house and bang, bang and then a dreadful smell of burning rubber and the vacuum cleaner blew up.
To cut a long story short the motor had to be replaced and the question I was asked was did I use carpet cleaners as there was a white powder blocking up the engine.
I don't use carpet cleaners so think that the baking soda was the culprit.
I actually stopped using this mixture about 6 months ago when I started using a new spray on product called Odarid which is very good.
