I like the idea of the cinnamon in the canister, but won't that clog my filters?

We've not had a problem with clogging the filters, but I see how it could be a concern. I've not ever sprinkled the cinnamon on the carpets, but have toyed with the idea of a cinnamon/baking soda sprinkle - my own version of carpet-fresh!

Speaking of filters, I like to get extra mileage out of them by either blowing them out with the shop-vac, actually vacuuming them with the shop vac (its tedious and not a habit) or taking them to the gas station and blowing them out with the air compressor. This is especially helpful when doing home projects that require using the shop vac and those filters can be pricey!
