Apparently no other product can kill fleas in some state of their development cycle, but steam can burst their shell. I am taking a heavy class load and have no time for this. I need something FAST, EASY, that gets steam to temps greater than 140 degrees (needed to kill fleas). I have hardwood floors so I want one that does not drench the floor. Since I have animals I would like the cleaning aspect as well…like if I am going to spend the money and have an appliance cluttering up, I would want it to be able to clean grout too. I am not expecting it to clean everything in my house, just floors. Carpets are a don’t care…I have throw rugs and throw them in the wash. I do not want to pre-mop or vacuum. I want one product to do it all. I am not very picky but it has to be hot to kill fleas and it has to do at least a fair job of cleaning so I don’t have to do it twice. I don’t want to spend over 0. And it should be light weight (or it won’t be easy). I don’t think I ‘d mind refilling it partway in order to keep the unit light. The right product might turn me from an indifferent housekeeper into a clean freak. Thanks for any help!
I bombed, it did no good. Only steam can kill fleas in all stages of growth. I guess I will premise spray to kill the adults, then steam to kill everything else.
We’re debating getting a new vacuum (hubby wants outrageously expensive Dyson) and maybe a steam cleaner like the Hoover All Terrain.
I don’t know if it wouldn’t just be better to hire Stanley Steamer a few times a year to do the job. I’m asking in Parenting because the whole reason we are needing all this for our carpets is our kids. I want to know how other parents with young children keep their floors clean.
Zorro, lol.
He’s got allergies and the pets and all are adding to it. He’s not one to complain so when he does I try to do something about it if i can. I just don’t know if spending 00 on carpet cleaning is the best way to use our money.

When we moved in 2 months ago there were a few stains on the carpet, but otherwise it looked clean. I vacuum once a week just on principle I like to walk on clean carpet. However, I got a puppy for christmas and she’s already mostly house broken. We’ve just had maybe 3 or 4 accidents. I noticed she went on the stained parts of the carpet. Our carpet is a medium brown color and the stains are just a little darker so I wasn’t too worried and noted it on my move in check list. As I was cleaning the accidents, I noticed quite a bit of dirt coming up also. I wanted to steam clean, but I know that some steam cleaners actually soak the carpet which can cause the carpet to not get completely dry in some areas leading to mold or rotting. I’m not sure what to do because it’s killing the neat freak in me that the floor is so icky. We were told that it had been professionally steam cleaned prior to us moving in, but that seems highly doubtful. Any ideas on how or what I should use to clean my carpet? I’m kind of on a tight budget so the best for the cheapest price would be great.

The dirt on the skirting boards in my house seems to have settled permanently. The vacuum cleaner doesn’t seem to be having any effect on it. The dist looks to be permanently glued to the wooden surface of the skirting board. I have seen a lot of cleaning products in the market, especially at the local Wilko and ASDA. However I am not sure that they will work or not.
Also, I am not sure wether to simly apply the liquid cleaners on the skirting boards and then wipe it off with a cloth after some time OR do I need to use something like a steam cleaner?
Also, will the same strategy work with the mould & mildew which is all around the window frames?
