So, I've had a couple of house showings with comments about pet odor in the house (not due to urine and other such issues in the carpet). The carpet has been cleaned 3 times since we moved out in May and the scent still lingers (although I don't smell it and neither do others that have been in the house). I've considered that the odor is coming from my central vacuum system because it has sucked a lot of pet hair through the system. I've already dumped some carpet fresh type of stuff through each vent, although it's not a lot. I'm also getting something called tornado power cleaning wipes that are supposed to help clean the interior pipes.

Any other suggestions that I might be able to follow to try to get rid of the smell in a central vacuum system? Thanks!
