When I came to UK, I felt a bit uncomfortable with carpeted floor in most houses. In my opinion, carpeted floor is quite unhygienic even if we vacuum every day. Hairs, coffee stains, bits and pieces of food are very hard to see or clean off carpeted floor. However, most houses only have vacuum cleaners and steam cleaners seem to be not popular among the residents. In fact, most supermarkets only advertise vacuum cleaners.
Steam cleaners work in high temperature and will be able to clean and sanitize carpeted floors as well as furniture. New homes with wooden floors are also suitable to use with steam cleaners because most steam cleaners come with all kinds of accessories to be used on different kinds of surfaces.
I have seen shop assistants using small steam cleaners to straighten and clean clothing. I wonder if those powerful steam cleaners can be used for the same purpose.

It is Thursday now. Weekend is near once again. I had just stayed overtime yesterday because there were some tasks that needed to be completed. My manager’s phone calls are diverted to my phone since yesterday and I have been accepting calls from people who I have never met or heard before. Of course, they were surprised because I answered the calls. Anyway, I managed to solve their problems.
In the span of the past two weeks, I have received a number of emails from Gather.com. I was quite active in Gather before but eventually I stopped because my work is getting busier. Somehow, I hope that I will find the time again to visit Gather and make some friends there. But right at the moment, I just want to concentrate on updating my blog and also Entrecard.
Three weeks ago, a lot of Technorati users were having problem with the manual and automatic ping. I am glad that it is working fine now and my blogs are able to ping. I wonder why the support from Technorati never replies the tickets that were submitted to them. They should at least display a message saying that they are working on the issues that prevent the updates and pings. Even their Sign In hyperlink brings the user to Technorati Sign Up page.
