      Hi, I suffered psoriasis when I was 30 and I 'd like to share the way I got rid of it completely.
      First of all I quit my stressful job in the city ( Buenos Aires) and found something in my small town.
      I almost quit red meat and chocolates. Beer is not recommended but I have never drank alcohol.
      I made a great effort to avoid scratching with my nails, and I applied a special clay that is prepared specially for this purpose.
      I am 63 now and never had psoriasis again. I wish he can get better!!! Greetings from Argentina!

    Watching this to clean my HEPA filter after cleaning car seats, sofas, 8rooms and 1 window.I didn't use soap liquid. Just poured Dettol on water n cleaned it, but it is not whitening properly. I am hoping a drop of Dettol won't disturb the HEPA mesh.I Will try with this soap liquid. Lol didn't know you already had a video for all this. You have a wealth of information on wdbd10.

    Hello! I just stumbled on your video looking for sponge filter replacement for my black and decker. I lost mine when I washed it and air dry it outside. Is it possible to wet vacuum with HEPA filter? If not, do you have suggestions where to get sponge filter for wet vacuuming? Thank you!

    • @handyharvey
      @handyharvey  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi @North Star, it's not a good idea to use HEPA for wet vacuuming. A wet HEPA filter could allow mold to form. Because of the fine mesh of fibers in a HEPA filter, same with the dust bag, they take a long time to dry. You can try Amazon, I believe they have spare sponge that could fit your vacuum. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching. Pls. like and subscribe.

    Nice video. Thank you. I think to some extent, for really deep cleaning, it would also help while water is running, to use the handle of a tea spoon lightly running it alongside each folds especially if filter hasn't been cleaned for years.
    For those who do not want to get hand wet. Alternatively, use another vacuum cleaner, and if you do not have one, then simply take it to any petrol station that has a pre-paid vacuum cleaner. Use a tea spoon handle and a mini paint brush. Be sure to wear face mask though because dust could be irritating if inhaled.
