I have birds and moth problem. I have used this on furniture and curtains with no staining. It is a Perythrin water based spray. Perythrins are derived from plant and although it is not considered toxic to humans or animals, it is an irritant. I don't like to use any insecticides around the house because of the birds, but this product is probably the safest for use in pet homes. It is definitely safer than moth balls, which are highly toxic. Also, many flea soaps and sprays for pets contain Perythrin because it is not considered toxic when used correctly

No, you can use it outside or inside, if you have hardwood or other non carpet.

The manual spesifies only Hover Cleaning products.http://content.abt.com/documents/52884/FH40160_manual.pdfHowever I have used a light bleach/water on tiled floors with the older model for over a year, it did not cause any problems. Since vinegar is water soluble you should be fine.

I would not use indoors. There are many insecticides recommended for indoor use so I would not take the risk.

Absolutely. I have had this rack for over a year. We have used it on berber carpet and hardwood floors. Never had an issue with either surface.

We mostly use ours on carpets and no issues there. If hardwood floors have sand/dirt and the board is rubbed over it, the chances are good it will scratch.

yes you can clean baseboards. It is a good idea to have a damp clean cloth handy to wipe up behind the steam. It does not spread far but wiping up as you go just makes sense in terms of time and effort.

It depends on the wood underneath the carpet. If its smooth and flat, then you should be fine. I would pull the staples and nails instead of hammering them, and I highly suggest you use a adhesive flooring primer. If the wood isn't smooth and flat, sand it down and definitely use the primer.*note* for lining it up, there are arrows on the backing paper that you use to line it up. We went every other one up then right and loved the design.

On hardwood floors its fine. On carpets no. If you have trouble you can take the safety bottom pieces. There are about 6 of them and they are not hard to remove ,you just need a screwdriver. But i wouldnt do this unless its really hard to navigate such as in carpets.

I've never used it on carpet as I have very little carpet in my house and no pets, but the ingredients are not caustic so I believe it would be fine for carpets.

Yes you can, it works well on all surfaces. We use it in the office everyday and we have carpet.

Honestly in my opinion of using a few of.these, carpet is no good, but it really likes to stick to hard wood floor. Only problem is it will stick to the floor but then rip off from the material.

Depends If its on carpet or bare flooring. Carpet I would say no but bare flooring probably.

I use mine on carpet...no problems so far. I don't have the instructions handy to confirm that carpet is OK.

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.

Sorry I have only used on carpet and hardwood. The accidents my dogs have are found fairly quickly so I do not have a problem with odor.

It is best indoors and will not scratch or damage floors of furniture in our experience. If the outdoor surface is very smooth it may be O.K. to use it.
