    note: by body soil I am talking about dead skin cells, sweat, and skin oil. Body fluids sounds a lot worse, especially ones that stain.

    I'm very glad that you clarified. I was a little worried for a moment when I read your original post.

    I checked my HD, but could not find it!

    I will check again though.

    Thanks for the info, I could use one for lots of my clothes. I have stubborn Cotton shirts.

    Hey Yoipappari,

    One more reason to wear one of the JDez Underkilts that everyone was freaking about. I still love them and that's one of the reasons.

    If they have them, they will be in the back where Home Depot has some small appliances. After about 35 minutes of searching, I finally found an employee to ask. He said they weren't in his department, but he thought they were in the carpet section. I was on my way there when I saw the small appliances. They had a spot for the steamer, but were sold out. I'm going to a different HD in a little while. Maybe I'll have more luck there.

    Steam cleaning is less damaging to the wool than the harsh chemicals often used in dry cleaning.

    And steam pressing is much superior to using an iron because the hot metal of the iron can impart a shiney surface to wool and the man-made materials that steam does not.
