[quote=Anonymous]Beside myself with disgust! I found maggots and it took me awhile to figure out where they were coming from. BTW, I'm not usually freaked out about bugs as many people! I'm a gardener and cherish beneficial bugs including my beloved earth worms! I had just done quite a bit of cleaning and had borrowed my mother's steam cleaner. First I wanted to use it on my area rug. After cleaning under the rug thoroughly and vacuuming, I got out the steam cleaner. Approximately a month prior to this I let my (young) adult son take the steam cleaner to his friend's (more like a family friend to us), so he could move out of his apartment and get back his deposit! I was unaware that this young man not only had a small inside dog, but worse, he did not vacuum before using the steam cleaner!!! While I was steam cleaning the rug, more than half a dozen grey hairballs emerged from under it. I picked them up, saying a few choice words along the way, and continued. I emptied the tank of dirty water into the toilet, then set it down to flush and clean the toilet. I put the tank back on the steam cleaner and was getting the attachments and such ready to use it on my recliner. The steam cleaner sat on the area rug (in a small seating area by my stairs and near the kitchen). About an hour or less later I started finding random maggots! The first couple were less than a foot from the steam cleaner. Then I found a few in my restroom. Then another, then another.... Seems like they were pretty spread out after a dozen or more! Finding some appear from what seemed like nowhere! After being disgusted and distraught because of my cleaning efforts, I ended up in tears finding one every half hour or so. Finally it occurred to me that a fly had layed its eggs somewhere in the steam cleaner. I remembered that I had dumped the dirty water in the bathroom and set down the tank on the floor. I had spread them out, and they were coming from the steam cleaner! I cleaned my whole rug with a steam cleaner full of fly maggots!!! ?[/quote]
