One of my dogs also sheds very badly. I tried several different vacuums, from Shark to Eureka, and nothing seemed to get the job done. Finally, I broke down and bought a Dyson, and boy does it work wonders! They are a little costly, but definitely worth the money! When it comes to pet stains, I've always used Gonzo. They have one specifically for pets, or you can just buy the regular stuff. It works amazing on getting the stains up, and the smells out (you can also use on any type of stain, not just pet, which is a big plus). As far as smell, I usually use Febreeze. I'm also a candle lover, so I usually have candles lit. I will definitely have to try your baking soda trick as well though!
