Reddit mentions: The best handheld steamers

I've never had this particular problem, but /r/askvet might be a good place to xpost this. Also, if you get the correct antibiotic information (dosage, etc.) there you can probably take your bird to a general vet and get what you need. So, not all is lost, you just need to get creative! :) While I'm sure you've done your research, according to this article it looks like your bird is in stage 2 of 3, which should be helped by antibiotics (I hope!).

Additionally, what's the bird's diet like? After reading through the article it seems like that's a leading cause of this particular problem.. If you can get them, butternut squash, broccoli, and carrots are all very healthy for birds and high in vitamin A and calcium, which two things that you'll need to add to your bird's diet to help him/her overcome the problem. Based on what I've found online, cutting down on the amount of protein intake will also help a lot (many nuts and seed are high in protein/fat - as I'm sure you're probably already aware..).

On a separate note, I'd remove any and all "grooming/pedicure" perches from his/her cage. They can dry out and continue to cut up your bird's feet, causing an infection.. Which would suck.. Keep everything as clean as possible, and do what you can for the poor little guy/girl to keep them comfortable. I found a post on here from about a year ago that asked something along the lines of "what's the best cleaning stuff that you've invested in" and noticed that someone posted something about hand steamers for cleaning and picked one up to try out for myself. It's not faster than a sponge and wet paper towels by any means, but you can do a much better job with stands, the bars, etc. by using it..

I hope this helped in some way.

You might want something more like this, as that's what I have and I use several of the attachments just for the sofa itself.

I use the steamer for many other things in my house like spots on the carpet/rugs, window sills in the bathroom that get mildewy in the cracks... all kinds of things! It really is a great tool to have around. One of those things that you never knew you needed until you have it lol!

The one you were looking at looks like it's only really used for wrinkles in things. Make sure though to test in an inconspicuous spot before attempting to do the whole sofa, I don't know if colors or other fabrics are effected by the high heat. I have tried my steamer on a faux silk dress that had a ton of wrinkles and it worked well for that.

Good luck! I hope you're able to bring your sofa back to life!

I just dealt with fleas and it sucks. I got rid of them by being pretty aggressive. I bathed my dog with flea shampoo the Tropiclean one like suggested, used a flea comb after. I then got him a Serestro collar, and used K9 Advantax II again. He had it before the fleas actually showed up but i re-applied sooner than one month with Vet permission. Also used Capster for a week. Finally, I washed bedding, curtains, clothes, threw out some toys that were cloth he played with during the time and some couch cushions. Wiped down every surface with Vets best flea and tick home spray, spread out Diatomaceous Earth. Vaccumed every day for a week and a half and steam cleaned the floor, the couch, the bed with one of these. Aggressive and pricey yes but home and puppy are completely flea free. I still spot check with the flea comb just in case though.

I'll say that nothing compares to my full-size Jiffy steamer, but as far as travel-sized goes, I like my Rowenta travel steamer much better than I did the travel Jiffy. Their travel iron, while small, works well enough to use on a daily basis too, and its steam function is powerful enough to use as a steamer for touch-ups.

Well, it's great on anything you need heat to melt grime away with, like grout or tile. It's also great at lower temps and pressures for de-wrinkling clothes, especially dry-clean only stuff so long as you don't get it too hot. The first steam cleaner I tried on bed bugs was actually for steaming wrinkles out of clothes. It doesn't have to be and particular brand or for any particular purpose so long as it hits the right temperatures.

Honestly, I bought this one several years ago, although then it ran me about $30. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00T56FK96/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

If you're using it for bed bugs just remember to use low pressure. High pressure is great for cleaning but you don't want to blow the bed bugs or eggs around, you want long concentrations of heat, so low pressure is best.

Just order the pink stuff. Replace any substrate with paper towel, and use cardboard boxes or other disposable furniture items until the treatment is done anyway. At that point, you can use the pink stuff to disinfect the tank thoroughly before re-introducing all of the already-disinfected normal furniture.

Boiling water won't work - steam cleaners actually output hotter-than-boiling steam. You could order this, but the disinfectant from beardeddragon.co is much more effective. Plus, given the treatment, if you clean now, you'll have to clean again at the end of the treatment.

If you have a steam cleaner like this you may want to try that first, as it may help melt the sauce and make it easier to wipe away. Take care to not blast the leather, try to keep the steam concentrated on the sauce.

It's a bit better, in my opinion, to use moist heat to melt it than use heavy chemicals to cut through it, but what /u/Nariek recommended should be safe enough.

I can't find the exact one on Amazon currently, but this one is almost identical! Mine has the same features, price point, but is by the Midas brand instead.

I had a huge steamer I loved for many years that my former mother in law let me use, so I got this one to tide me over until I could afford a big one.. And I havent needed it!

I use a big plastic paint scraper/putty knife to scrape off the excess waste, then either spray everything down with vinegar water or poop off before wiping down with a cloth. A steam cleaner (I use one of these) helps with really stuck-on messes.

One of my cages is 6' tall x 6' wide x 3' deep and it's impractical for me to take it outside to hose it down, even when the weather is good. So the cages get steam cleaned once a week, and are given spot wet cloth cleanings three times a week. The longer you leave it, the more work it is and the more you just want to take them out and hose them down. If you just do a little every few days, it makes it far easier to manage!

I actually just got one last week!.

It works pretty well. Do I use it directly on the upholstery of my car? and the trunk?

It’s ok I would recommend a bigger one if you have the money!

This one would probably be better to help get in cracks where they hidehere

For £24.85 (£17.86 + £6.99 delivery to Germany) you can get a 3.25kg bag of Yorkshire tea!!! With 1040 tea bags, it works out to 2.4p or 2.7 cents per bag :)

If you are really concerned I would recommend a steam cleaner. You can pick up an inexpensive handheld steam cleaner on Amazon for as little as £35.

I picked up this one for £40 as I needed to do vinal flooring. The steaming part comes out of the handle and becomes a handheld. LINK

Steam cleaners not only clean very well, but they also sterilise too.

Hand held steamer. Here’s the one I have. I use it on everything. Cleans with chemicals. PurSteam

We use a steam cleaner, as part of closing duties. Spray all along the inside and outside of the taps, wipe down the outsides, and you’re done.

We use one like this:

I agree with the spraying it down with some kind of cleaner, for sure. You want to break down some of that oil, but I don't think it's going to be enough. I'd consider investing in a steam cleaner. Probably $30 to $40, and it'll cut through all that grease.

Here's a $30 steam cleaner that will do the job:

And here's a video of how you could use it:

I have a combo steam mop/handheld. It comes with different tools and I love it so much. I use it for everything. Steaming clothing, cleaning the windows, oven... it's so versatile. I am also in Canada :)

The only thing I've had difficulty with is cleaning the walls with it, but that's not something I need to do often.

Edit: this is the one I have

Mine just doesn't suck up liquid. I do not know how that works but it does.

This is the one I bought. UK only as far as I know and that's not a plug, I don't make any money off it.

Rookie numbers, that

Nah mate, the 1040 bag catering pack

I have to second this right here. /u/stromydayandnight, /u/EllieSauce is correct. I use this steamer, and have for 4 years now. It's small enough to take anywhere and I work in a very professional atmosphere where dress code is tight and I have never had any negative comments, only positive. So long as I take my dress shirts (or any garment) out of the dryer fairly quickly the steamer straightens everything out within 3 minutes. If the garment has creases, even heavy, I can usually get them out within 10 minutes with a few passes but you'd only be doing that in an emergency situation.

That's why you buy these bad boys

Mine isn't small, but I really love my Rowenta Compact Valet steamer. Rowenta also makes a hand-held travel steamer. Before that I had a Conair Extreme Steam that died after a week of extreme steaming on my part. I exchanged it for the Rowenta, no regrets.
