I need this to clean metal blinds, dirt, humidity stains, will this be effective for cleaning and disinfecting dogs beds after vacuuming them.

Definitely good for disinfecting, it's got a great steam stream, but I'm not sure about it getting out stains. It did take some mold stains out of my carpet, but I needed to pretreat first.

as long as the item you are cleaning could get wet and take some heat from the steam it should work fine. most of my cleaning has been on the grout lines on the floor but it hasnt messed up my shoemolding on the baseboard even though it is painted wood. the machine really isnt a cleaner by itself. it provides hot steam to cut through the gunky stuff that accummilates in areas that dont usually get wiped clean.

I think the blinds would come clean, I used mine on a metal exterior door with 9 panes of glass. It cleaned up wonderfully,even around each pane. I cleaned my stove exhaust also and was quite pleased. As far as the dog bed, it will feel nice. I have cleaned my recliners and couch and they feel clean, but not sure that it is the best way to clean fabric yet. Still I love this machine.

it's fantastic, but try to only use distilled water. it works better! Its has pressure dial.

As long as the vacuum motor is a brush type motor it will work. The commercial cleaning equipment manufacturers are starting to use voltage reducing switches on some of their backpack vacuums. They are doing this do reduce the noise level because there are more building going to daytime cleaning. Gunslinger45 has a great idea though. You could make a homemade suction diverter by drilling a hole on the upper end of your vac tool and using a piece of cork to plug it when you want full suction. Pull the cork out, it lets air in and reduces the suction.

electrolux ergorapido has worked great on wood floors and tile for dust, dirt and doghair. I have bought 3 for family members and have one on each floor of my home. Love it!

This is a high efficiency shop vac. Not suitable for routine carpet cleaning. There are HEPA units made for routine household cleaning that would likely serve you better. They include carpet beater bars etc.

Yes, it should work just fine. Doesn't hold the cleaner solution for long. That should help.

Yes it is a great handheld for your furniture and curtains, stair. Love this vaccum

I would think so. Just test a small area first. My cleaning service actually uses it as a dusting agent throughout my home.

Hi Betty, I wouldn't think so as it's really a 'stick type' of vaccuum cleaner best for wood or smooth floors, it does have a detachable section that works as a hand vac but nothing that would work on blinds. Our place is rather small (1100 sq. ft.) and it does a fine job getting up the dog hair but it doesn't have an extended power range - hence, the need for two batteries. Regards, Tom

It's not recommended. The Hoover cleaner is great, however, do not use it full strength.

I am not a vet, but I would think this would be a good cleaner to start. You would probably still need a presciption for an Ear mite parasiticide.My dog had a ear yeast infection that was cleared up with the EcoEars formulation.

Hi C.A., I bought this product to eliminate odors in my front loading washer . I was sorely disappointed in it's ineffectiveness.... I have used it for cooking odors too and was not impressed. I had high hopes for this product and was really let down. I would imagine that it would rid the attic of mustiness for a short time but if you have strong odors in your attic (perhaps from an animal invasion) I would not rely on this to rid the attic of odors. Hope this helps....D.K.R.

I bought this for pet odors and was disappointed by its ineffectiveness. I haven't tried it on mold and mildew yet, but would hope it would do a better job than with the cat urine (which I guess nothing can remove...).

You could try it, but I doubt it would work for this situation, it's mainly for stains and oders on carpeting and bedding, I don't think it would be good for tables.

I think it might be a little large to dust blinds. I use it for light fixtures and cleaning the top corners of rooms.

This cleaner is very powerful for a lightweight unit. I feel it did an excellent job of removing dirt from deep down in my carpet. I don't have pets but feel it would pick up whatever is in the carpet. Good luck!

I use it to vacuum llbean water hog door mats. It does a decent job, but not complete. The spinning attachment is fairly weak, so I use the regular wood floor attachment and "scrub" the rugs with it. I guess depending on the thickness and level of dirt, it should do an ok job.

If you are planning on using it on painted walls, cabinets, I would not dally on one spot for too long. It may harm the paint. It will get the tobacco stains off walls and cabinets but so will a spic n span or lysol or Murphy's Oil Soap. It is all work and using either takes about the same amount of time. I do like the steam machine for freshening up carpets cleaning sofa, reclining chairs, mattresses. Use white towels on attachments and scrub, You would not believe the dirt on ones sofa from your pet. We have a Shih tzu, such a little dog, just 10 pounds. So I would imagine it would also remove tobacco odor from those items as well. Good luck
