“Well, Shake ‘n’ Vac from Glade is here.
“# It’s all you have to do.
“# Do the Shake ‘n’ Vac and put the freshness back.
“# Do the Shake ‘n’ Vac and put the freshness back.
“# When your carpet smells fresh, your room does too.
“# Every time you vacuum, remember what to do.
“# Do the Shake ‘n’ Vac and put the freshness back.”
The ad features actress Jenny Logan.
Although Shake ‘n’ Vac was first sold in 1979, the TV ad didn’t air until 1980 supposedly as a result of the eleven week ITV strike in 1979.
The commercial was produced by Benton and Bowles advertising agency, written and art directed by Peter West and Guy Winston and produced by Simon Wells. The director was Bob Mahoney.
The song was written by English actress/songwriter/comedienne Kate Robbins.
