VAPOR STEAM CLEANERS - Recommended for Allergy Suffers & Mites Infestations:

Steam cleaners are great, but you need a certain temperature to kill bacteria, fungi and mites -- the following vapor cleaners are particularly effective in this area.

NOTE: Renting a vapor cleaner is an option if you can't buy at this time. Your local hardware store may have some good machines available. Ask about temperature ... if vapors go to at least 240 degrees or above, then it should work fine.

Dry steam kills dust mites, viruses, molds, and fungi instantly. A steam cleaner can help with difficult cleaning tasks such as floors, tile grout, upholstery, carpets, car detailing and more.

HANDHELD STEAM CLEANERS

Steam cleaners are great for cleaning and sanitizing cages, perches and toys (desolves most of the dirt within seconds), as well as cleaning and deodorizing windows, toilets, sinks and floors without harsh chemicals. Environmentally safe, which is important for bird owners. The steam easily gets into all the crevices. Please note: stay away from Scotchguard products. Toxic to birds. I actually use only water and it works fine.

Pet Stains: White vinegar added to your steam cleaner is a natural and effective way to clean and get rid of smells.

Carpet Cleaning Tips (Removing Stains)

PLEASE make sure to remove any pet from any area that is being cleaned or has been cleaned and the carpet is still wet. I have heard of birds dropping dead after being exposed to carpet cleaning solutions under the "right" conditions (poor ventilation, too much solution, etc. ). I personally try to clean the carpet with warm water first, and only if the dirt don't come out, then I will use a carpet cleaning solution. There are alternative, safer solutions that you can use. I keep the cleaning solution around only for heavy soiling and make sure that I remove my pets from the area until dry. I don't stick around myself. I don't think that these chemicals are helping us any either (other than cleaning the carpet). They might not kill us "on the spot", but could very well show their damage later through cancer.

White vinegar mixed with warm water is a safer and cheaper alternative.
