      The Minimal Mom can these products and method be used on area rugs? I have some area rugs on my hardwoods that I’d love to clean rather than replace. Thanks! And as always we are a huge fan of Uncle Eric. He’s a natural! Also, love the couch, where is it from?

      That's also what I was looking through the comments for. I heard something about "a couple of drops". I'm assuming put in water, but not sure if what was in the bottle was all product, or if he added some of it to water. I realize too that your comment Diana was like a year ago and that no one answered you.

    What would work for a leather couch? Just water or does he recommend the citrus cleaner as well?
    Also, Mold! Our window sills in our bedroom always get condensation in the winter and get moldy (maybe mildew). What does Uncle Eric suggest? We have used concrobium, but is there another product that he would recommend.

  • @shellybain8283
    @shellybain8283 5 лет назад

    Dawn, I am so thankful for you! The wall mounted furnace vent is right outside my bathroom door and very close to the stove. Moisture from the bathroom is causing it to rust, since there is no ventilation in the bathroom. We have thought about running a pipe into the adjacent laundry room ceiling and then outside. Anyway, this vent gets a little greasy from cooking in the kitchen, then collects dirt. I have removed and washed the vent several times, but I need an easy system to maintain it. The paint is also damaged from the moisturize.
    By the way, I like your hair better with a few bangs.

I am really glad that I stopped to look up this information. He gave some really solid advice and I feel like I learned a lot watching him. It is also super cool to hear about some of these obscure jobs that they don't teach about in school. Super solid video. Also, first time on your channel I think I will check some more of your stuff out.
