The cult ad for the powder carpet freshner starred the actress and singer Jenny Logan, and ran throughout the 1980s.

Logan, now a 69-year-old pensioner, will appear in an online viral campaign rolled out next month. But there are no plans for her to grab her vac and return to television screens.

Logan said: "Being a part of the Glade Shake n' Vac advert was such a fun experience, I can't believe it has been 30 years since it first aired. People still come up to me singing the Shake n' Vac jingle today."

SC Johnson, the makers of Glade Shake n' Vac, claims the brand has sold nearly 300 million bottles in the UK since the ad first showed in 1979.
