![]() An excess of moisture in any upholstered furniture item can lead to mold and mildew, which will only worsen any allergies that are being caused by a dirty mattress. We have seen some mixed reviews about steam cleaning a mattress though, and the main point of contention boils down to (get it?) moisture. Additionally, when you steam clean any upholstered item, it is recommended that you use a gentle cleanser, not one with harsh chemicals that will negatively impact your skin and the earth alike. Steam cleaning is also an incredibly environmentally friendly method of cleaning, too, because it simply consists of water and heat. Steam, which can reach an upwards of 250℉, does an excellent job of killing everything from dust mites to bacteria while also breaking down stains and dirt. Steam cleaning can be a really effective method for keeping any upholstered item clean. With those factors in mind, let’s take a look at some of the pros and cons of steam cleaning a mattress. In any of these cases, you’ll need to steam clean your mattress more often. It’s also a good idea to steam clean your mattress if you’ve been sick on your mattress or had a bloody nose overnight. If, however, you tend to sweat at night, you sleep with your pets, you eat in bed, or you have kids who are in the process of potty training, it is pretty likely that your mattress will need more frequent TLC to prevent smells and stains from setting in. If you share your bed with a pet, you will likely have to clean your mattress more frequently If you use a mattress protector or sleep on a hypoallergenic mattress, like most natural latex mattresses , you will likely not need to clean your mattress as often. Keeping your mattress clean is essential, but is steam cleaning it really necessary? Well, it depends on a few factors.įirst of all, think about the measures that you are already taking to ensure a clean mattress. Pros And Cons Of Steam Cleaning A Mattress A clean mattress can actually improve your health, your home’s air quality, and your sleep. If you are somebody who struggles with breathing issues like allergies, asthma, or sleep apnea it is especially important for you to make sure that your mattress is staying clean. ![]() ![]() One study has even suggested that a typical mattress can contain up to 100,000 to 10 million dust mites-yikes! ![]() Mattresses also come into direct contact with our bodies and, as such, can collect sweat, skin cells, dust mites, bacteria, stains and smells over time. You probably don’t spend a whole lot of time worrying about the cleanliness of your mattress, but it is actually an important thing to pay attention to, especially if you consider that we spend up to a third of our lives in bed. We have a bunch of helpful information for you about steam cleaning, spot treating and other washing methods to help you keep your bed in tip-top shape. No matter how you slice it (unless you actually slice it, which we wouldn’t recommend) it’s just not possible to fit your mattress into your washing machine, so how can you get it looking and smelling fresh and clean again? Steam cleaning is one great option, but make sure you know all about the process before attempting this method on your own. Whether you are dealing with a major stain or your mattress is just starting to smell a little funky, figuring out how to clean a large mattress can be a little tricky.

Expiration Date, a Team Fortress 2 promotional video, features a similar mannequin to that of the available male mannequin from Portal 2 but with visible joints, which is a feature shared with the high-poly render of the female mannequin.Although once thought to be Half-Life 2: Episode 3 or Half-Life 3 VCDs, both magnuss_wave and magnuss_idle are referenced in specific F-Stop map reslists, perhaps indicating that the other Magnusson VCDs were used in other F-Stop maps.The idea of folding environments was initially re-used for an early Portal 2 intro when the relaxation chamber was a virtual hotel room.References for Portal 2 underground chambers sound like F-Stop styled chambers trying to imitate a movie set.While portals were not present as a gameplay mechanic, there was a reference scene in which a mannequin tests an early Portal gun prototype (using the large beta Portal gun model).Many pieces of F-Stop concept art have intentional typos in their grammar, ironic since they mostly state how much focus and vision that Aperture have on the future.It has an SLR viewfinder despite the camera being based on Leica cameras that have a direct optical viewfinder. Somewhat ironically, the camera is an old film camera yet it can produce photos instantaneously as if it were an instant camera, and can store photos as if it were digital in its `memory`.The original Directed Design Experiment did not have any mannequins.As evidenced during the Portal 2 ARG, Aperture Science at this stage were using “tramps, lunatics and foundlings” as test subjects. A character named Greg was performing as Cave Johnson's assistant. Bush, beginning as a partial side kick before turning on the player due to their inevitable crimes against robots throughout the game. He was imagined with a voice similar to that of George W. The story of the game was to feature Cave Johnson, a dead southern billionaire with his intelligence put into a computer, much like GLaDOS. The mechanic itself was stated to be non-violent, much like the first Portal, involving a camera and taking photos of objects. Post-Directed Design Experiment, F-Stop was decided to be a prequel to Portal with no GlaDOS (but a cameo as Betty), no portals (only for gameplay, possibly seen in a test for a prototype Portal gun behind glass), a new mechanic, and presented in Team Fortress 2's and Portal's art style. Kirchmer, two artists that went on to illustrate concepts for the project. The project was headed by Joshua Weier, the lead behind the initial experiment, accompanied by Jeremy Bennett and Eric S. In October to December of 2008, development of the game was completely rebooted, leading to the Portal 2 that released. Playtesters thought the overall mechanic of the game was fun, but were confused at the fact they didn't have a Portal gun. ![]() Valve were sure that this could be the mechanic for the next Portal game, thinking that Portal as a franchise would have a new mechanic each game, with a common link of Aperture Science experimentation.Īfter nearing a year of active development, Valve began to question everything. One of these experiments was titled F-STOP A project that made Gabe Newell think "Fuck yeah!" after seeing it. Valve would turn into a creative playground for four months, with no stress or pressure from developing full games. In essence, Valve would shut down development on games and let the employees do whatever they want. To combat this, he thought up the 'Directed Design Experiments'. Shortly after the release of the Orange Box, Gabe Newell was concerned that Valve was focusing too much time on releasing games, and not on experimenting/innovation. ![]() ![]() It's one of the easy ways of following the NOTDIR guideline. The lead section, however, makes the inclusion criteria explicit. Dadodband ( talk) 06:16, 1 June 2009 (UTC) Reply Regarding "notable", that's one of the standard guidelines for all "list of" pages, and WP:LISTNAME says the article title shouldn't bother stating it. I would also like to somehow see Green Search Engines appear here somewhere - under Models perhaps? The technology often sits on Google or Yahoo's APIs, but the business model is quite different and there are several out there that deserve mention (Quevr, Blackle, etc). ![]() This list should actually be more exhaustive than that. Zim Zala Bim talk 04:33, (UTC) Reply I’m not sure I agree with just listing notable search engines here, as that restriction is not the title of the page. Regarding "excluding anything new", be aware that only notable search engines should be listed here. 216.121.202.202 ( talk) 04:20, (UTC) Reply You are likely referring to Wolfram Alpha, which is listed. Maybe you need another classification for ``Recently Offered Engines``. From reading the discussions, it looks like you exclude anything new. ![]() ![]() I don`t remember its name but I expected to see it listed here, especially since the page was updated 3 days ago. It provided quantitative answers to questions.

Nupedia was initially licensed under its own Nupedia Open Content License, but before Wikipedia was founded, Nupedia switched to the GNU Free Documentation License at the urging of Richard Stallman. Its main figures were Bomis CEO Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger, editor-in-chief for Nupedia and later Wikipedia. It was founded on March 9, 2000, under the ownership of Bomis, a web portal company. Wikipedia began as a complementary project for Nupedia, a free online English-language encyclopedia project whose articles were written by experts and reviewed under a formal process.

The website's coverage of controversial topics such as American politics and major events like the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine has received substantial media attention. The reliability of Wikipedia was frequently criticized in the 2000s, but has improved over time, as Wikipedia has been generally praised in the late 2010s and early 2020s. Wikipedia has received praise for its enablement of the democratization of knowledge, extent of coverage, unique structure, culture, and reduced degree of commercial bias but criticism for exhibiting systemic bias, particularly gender bias against women and alleged ideological bias. In 2006, Time magazine stated that the policy of allowing anyone to edit had made Wikipedia the "biggest (and perhaps best) encyclopedia in the world". Its combined editions comprise more than 59 million articles, attracting around 2 billion unique device visits per month and more than 17 million edits per month (1.9 edits per second) as of November 2020. Initially available only in English, versions in other languages were quickly developed. Wales was influenced by the " spontaneous order" ideas associated with Friedrich Hayek and the Austrian School of economics after being exposed to these ideas by Austrian economist and Mises Institute Senior Fellow Mark Thornton. Sanger coined its name as a blend of " wiki" and " encyclopedia". On January 15, 2001, Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger launched Wikipedia. It is hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation, an American non-profit organization funded mainly through donations. It is consistently one of the 10 most popular websites ranked by Similarweb and formerly Alexa as of 2022, Wikipedia was ranked the 7th most popular site.

For new gun enthusiasts or the first time gun owner, single-action models such as the M1911 style pistol can be a steep learning curve as they are sometimes difficult to field strip for maintenance, finicky in operation, and have a combination of active safety pistol features - like the firing pin safety - that present a challenge to those who lack patience. 45 ACP were single-action– requiring the hammer to be cocked over a loaded chamber before each it can fire– today there are few single-action/double-action (SA/DA) hammer-fired guns out there such as the Sig Sauer P220, CZ97, and FN FNX-45 which are easier to use and carry with a loaded chamber.Īn even lower mechanical threshold are striker-fired guns such as Glock pistols.
