Get Out Of Debt

Bed bugs removal is big business; everyone from individual homeowners to large hotel chains is hiring experts to remove these pests from their premises. One of the most effective bed bugs removal tools happens to be a steam cleaner.
A steam cleaner emits very hot steam, often up to 386F in top machines. Such high steam temperatures can readily kill bed bugs. However, other features of steam cleaners make them even more efficient in killing bed bugs.
Bed bugs usually infest mattresses, sheets, carpets, sofas, and upholstery. To kill bed bugs, use high temperature steam in combination with vacuum extraction to effectively eliminate bed bugs, eggs, and waste that have been killed by steam. In addition, handling bed bugs manually raises the risk of spreading the infestation.
Other features to look for are HEPA filters and bacteria eliminating technologies. HEPA filters help trap allergens and the small bed bug eggs that otherwise may be re-introduced into the environment. Anti-bacterial technology, on the other hand, works to more readily kill bed bugs while disinfecting surfaces to ensure bedding, upholstery, and other surfaces are left clean for guests and customers. These technologies are available from top suppliers.
A portable steam cleaner with adjustable pressure levels should be used because it allows the operator to modify pressure according to the type of dirt on the surface.
A portable steam cleaner makes the task of covering every part of the room or commercial area easier. Use the portable steam cleaning machine to clean residential areas, bathrooms, kitchens, and other commercial or living spaces. An advantage of using steam cleaning systems for bed bugs removal is that these machines require very little water and they emit dry steam, which does not leave mattresses and upholstery extremely wet and prone to further infestations or mold growth.
To prevent re-infestation, make sure the surfaces are consistently maintained. This means that you should steam clean mattresses, curtains, sofa seats, cushions, and carpets regularly.
This high temperature dry steam is also applied to different surfaces for a variety of purposes. Depending on the type of steam cleaner you purchase, steam cleaners are capable of many other applications in addition to bed bugs removal:
1. Removes dirt and stains: High temperature dissolves food particles, dirt, and residues that cause staining and dirt accumulation. Portable steam cleaner machines lack the high pressure level of power washers, with maximum pressure levels reaching up to 150 psi. Therefore, the steam application process is accompanied by scrubbing with a detailing tool. Reputable suppliers will offer a variety of attachments for different applications.
2. Removes allergens: These include dander, pollen, pet hair, and dust. Pests such as bed bugs, termites, and dust mites are also removed using vacuum extraction. Note that all steam cleaners may not be equally effective in allergen removal. Smaller particles, such as bed bug eggs and pollen, cannot be contained using ordinary vacuuming. Use machines equipped with a HEPA filter that can trap objects as small as 3 microns in size.
3. Disinfects: A steam cleaner machine with advanced anti-bacterial technology will help kill bed bugs and remove harmful bacteria and fungus. Make sure to purchase certified machines proven by lab testing to eliminate more than 99 percent of germs and bacteria on the surface.
Beg bug infestations are hard to eliminate, and hard to contain. Therefore, use good-quality, powerful, durable steam cleaning machines to help fight this menace.

Over the summer I made plans to spend four fall days in New York City. True to my hopes the weather was absolutely perfect this October weekend. Booking a flight was the easy part. Finding a place to stay was not. I have a few friends in NYC, but like many New Yorkers their places are small and or shared. I didn’t want to impose and preferred to be independent without worry of disturbing people when returning from jaunts around town or coming in late at night.

Recommended budget hotels like the Pod were all booked. I checked out a few sites like New York 50- a site devoted to hotels and rentals for around a night. Needless to say the reviews were atrocious. I found various lists of top rated budget hotels including this About.com collection, but they were booked too. I checked out a condo rental site with attractive rates, but balked when I learned they wanted a 50% deposit forked over via wire transfer.

Yeah right. Take a credit card already – This isn’t 1950. For a month I occasionally read reviews and prices. Holiday Inns, Hampton Inns and the other chains run north of 0 a night in Manhattan. The nicer hostels were booked. Tripadvisor’s reviews of budget hotels were actually amusing to read – if not frightening. When finding a place for under 0 I would pull up the Tripadvisor review and read horrifying tales of bugs, mold, surly staff, and even beetles crawling over people as they slept. I wish I had bookmarked some of the reviews as they’re hilarious. I’m far from high maintenance, but I do require my room beetle free.

Someone on Lonely Planet mentioned the Chelsea Pines Inn to another poster looking for accommodations. It was the neighborhood I wanted to be in, for a very good price, and they had availability.

Tired or searching and comparing I immediately booked it.

Chelsea Pines sits on 14th Street between 7th and 8th Avenue. Typical to the area its a narrow building with five floors, with about four to five guest rooms per floor. Giving the rooms a distinct style and character, each is dedicated to a former actor or actress from Hollywood’s golden years. There’s a sunroom and patio for socializing and meeting fellow visitors, and breakfast is served every morning until 11am. Even though I always travel with earplugs just in case I wind up above a noisy street, the sounds below on 14th Street didn’t wake me at all. It was fairly quiet at night, and central airconditioning helps too. (Above photo of 14th Street taken from room.)

Something else makes this place special though: The variety and diversity in their rooms and rates. The deluxe, modern rooms on the lower floors are decked out in granite, have iPod docks, flat screen TVs and modern fixtures. Standard rooms reside in the middle floors, and the fourth and fifth floor house smaller economy rooms with a partial shared bath – (not uncommon in NYC hotels.) My room wasn’t as modern as the updated ones, but that was ok by me because the rate was below average for a place of it’s overall superb quality. When I return I may opt for fancier accommodations, but this time my needs were simple. There are plenty of economy rooms dotting the city, but being able to find an economy room that’s also in a well hosted and well kept building is rare. I’m appreciative of proprietor Jay and the staff for offering their guests a variety of economic options, which results in a nice blend of guests too.

Although there were a few faces manning the front desk I didn’t meet, I chatted with the owner Jay a few times and met a small group visiting from Scotland. Chelsea Pines is clean, comfortable, and more than spacious enough for myself traveling solo – and I’d recommend it as a “second home” to anyone staying in the city.

They’re at 317 West 14th Street in Chelsea, and about 30 steps from the subway too. Check out Chelsea Pines Inn .com for rate details and their history. And any other hotel should be so fortunate to have their Tripadvisor ranking.
