A hard bag portion of a vacuum cleaner is provided with a scent dispensing arrangement where suction airflow is valved at the hard bag portion before the downstream disposed scent tablet. It includes a manually actuated loosely mounted, slide member having a pocket for containing a scent tablet. This slide and its pocket move sidewardly to be centered on or offset from a slot in the hard bag through which vacuum cleaner discharge air flows. This air flow impinges directly or indirectly of the scent tablet to provide a flow of lesser or greater scented air which escapes around the loosely mounted slide member.
