In the case of the Kirby, the bag isn't attached and instead there is a PVC part that connects. A cloth it stretched over the mouth and held in place by a thick elastic.
16 years ago, that part of the spiel went as follows:
Take some carpet freshener (after asking if they are alergic) and sprinkle it on one spot.
With the customers vaccuum, go over that section until they are positive it has sucked up everything, then go over it a few more times.
The take the Kirby, with a fresh cloth attached, and set it over the area.
Ask the customer for a value between 1 & 5. Tell them this is how long you will run the Kirby. Then only flip it on and immediately off no matter what they said.
There is always some of the freshener that is picked up (it is a good vaccuum, although horrendously overpriced).
And for the record, upright vaccuums (especially hoover) did the best at getting the most freshener out. Cannister vaccuums left a lot behind.
