Keep your vacuum clean to prevent bacteria growth and that awful smell.
Empty the containment bin often and wash it with soap. Let it air dry. Also, clean your filters. Most of them can be washed. If not washable (check manufacturer) then order new ones and replace them. If you wash them, be sure to let them dry well.
Finally, clean the roller brush underneath. Hair, carpet strands and numerous other things can get wrapped around the brush and prevent it from grabbing debris.
