The chapters that had no "meal is done" panel were:

37 - Harpy

39 - Shapeshifter 1

52 - Bacon and Eggs

53 - On Floor One 1

54 - On Floor One 2

Again most of them are the multi parts. chapter 47 originally didn't have the title and stats but the panel looked just like a food is done panel so I went to check on the official release and they added it so it's here. Chapter 37 I think its so far the only non multi part chapter where no food is prepped or eaten, in chapter 52 they make and drink tea even tho there's no special panel.

Now for stats.

Senshi made/worked on 17, 18 if you count the Crispy Crunchy Mushroom Sandwich and 19 if you count the small help with the omelet, I'll count the sandwich so 18.

Chilchuck worked on 3 meals

Marcille worked on 3 meals, one of them she was making a potion but it got used in a sauce

Laios made/worked on 4 meals, 2 of them by himself! And one of them with minimal Senshi help.

Izutsumi helped with the dumplings, you go izutsumi.

Out of the 24 meals in these 4 volumes, 22 were food and 1 was medicine and 1 was a goopy brick

Out of the 22 foods Senshi worked on 17 of them (1 of his was the brick), 3 of them were Laios, 1 of them was ready made food and 1 was the golden kingdom citizens

The eastern style meal was mostly made by Maizuru but Senshi helped.

There was a few panels that were small/had dialog in them but I counted cause they had the meal title, dragon ham title appears twice but I only counted as one meal.

Once again, I'm bad with numbers if I got anything wrong feel free to correct me!

Technology from 1870-1899 (For Encanto fic writers)

So, A mutual of mine @miracles-and-butterfliess pointed out that everyone (including me) tends to forget that Encanto was literally made when the triplets were born. Which is literally 1900 or 1901. Regardless, it was the very beginning of the 19th century so let me tell you about the technology/things they would/wouldn’t have. (And please keep in mind that most of these may or may not have been imported into Colombia yet.) 

1870 - 1879

1872—A.M. Ward creates the first mail-order catalog. NO

1873—Joseph Glidden invented barbed wire. NO

1876—Alexander Graham Bell patents the telephone. NO

1876—Nicolaus August Otto invents the first practical four-stroke internal combustion engine. NO

1876—Melville Bissell patents the carpet sweeper. NO?

1884—James Ritty invents a functional mechanical cash register. YES?

1884—Charles Parson patents the steam turbine. NO

1885—Karl Benz invented the first practical automobile powered by an internal-combustion engine. NO (even before Encanto, Alma’s town looked rural so I doubt the automobile reached them yet.)

1895—Brothers Auguste and Louis Lumière invent a portable motion-picture camera that doubles as a film-processing unit and projector. The invention is called the Cinematographe and using it, the Lumières project the motion picture for an audience. NO?

1899—J.S. Thurman patents the motor-driven vacuum cleaner. NO (if you're running from being killed, the last thing you're going to bring is a vacuum cleaner) 

I remember a post listing the sort of jobs there would be in Encanto but I forgot so I’ll just list the ones I know (let me know if I need to add anything.): 

Seamstress/tailor

Embellisher

Field worker 

Teacher (of any kind; music, dance, art, etc)

Woodworker - wood carver

Toy maker

Construction worker

Joining a Local band/ Orchestra - being apart of a choir 

Carpenter 

Metal worker 

Jeweler (though I’m not sure if Jewelery of the diamond/gem kind is common in Encanto)

bladesmith/ knifemaker 

Inventor? (Inventors should exist in Encanto by now…just one other genius besides Mirabel?)

I know some of these are very obvious but I’m just giving people options okay? 

@miracles-and-butterflies you seem to know a lot more about this kind of stuff so if you have anything to add/take away or me to fix please let me know. I tried to search up “When was X invention imported into Colombia” and literally nothing of use comes up. 

[goth-oatmilk-latte]

Are Home Carpet Cleaners as Good as Professional?

When it comes to maintaining clean and fresh carpets in your Eugene home, the question of whether home carpet cleaners are as good as professional ones often arises. While both options have their merits, there are key differences to consider.

Home carpet cleaners, such as portable machines or DIY solutions, can be convenient and cost-effective for routine maintenance. They are suitable for handling minor spills and light soiling. However, they may lack the power and advanced technology of professional equipment, limiting their ability to deep clean and remove tough stains effectively.

On the other hand, professional residential carpet cleaning services in Eugene offer a higher level of expertise and specialized equipment. Trained technicians understand various carpet types and know the most suitable cleaning methods. They use powerful steam cleaning or hot water extraction techniques to reach deep into the carpet fibers, removing embedded dirt, allergens, and stains.

In conclusion, while home carpet cleaners can serve a purpose for regular upkeep, they may not match the thoroughness and results achieved by professional residential carpet cleaning services. For a truly revitalized and immaculate carpet, entrusting the task to professionals in Eugene is a wise choice.

Deep Clean on the Go: The Best Portable Carpet Cleaners for Busy Homes

Keeping your home clean and fresh can be challenging, especially for busy households with kids, pets, and high-traffic areas. Carpets often bear the brunt of daily life, accumulating dirt, stains, and odors. This is where portable carpet cleaners come to the rescue. Compact, efficient, and easy to use, these machines are perfect for spot cleaning and maintaining the overall cleanliness of your carpets, upholstery, and even car interiors.

1. Introduction to Portable Carpet Cleaners

Carpet cleaning is essential not only for maintaining the appearance of your home but also for ensuring a healthy living environment. Dust, allergens, and bacteria can accumulate in carpets, affecting indoor air quality and potentially causing health issues. Regular deep cleaning helps eliminate these contaminants, extending the life of your carpet and keeping your home fresh.

Portable carpet cleaners have become increasingly popular due to their convenience and effectiveness. Unlike full-sized carpet cleaners, portable models are easy to maneuver, store, and use on a moment’s notice. They are particularly useful for busy homes where spills, stains, and pet accidents are frequent.

2. How Portable Carpet Cleaners Work

Portable carpet cleaners operate using different technologies designed to remove dirt and stains from carpets and upholstery.

Overview of Functionality: Most portable carpet cleaners use a combination of water, cleaning solution, and suction to lift dirt from carpets. The cleaning solution is applied to the carpet, agitated with a brush, and then vacuumed up along with the dirt.

Types of Cleaning Technologies:

Water Extraction: This is the most common method, where water and cleaning solution are sprayed onto the carpet and then extracted along with the dirt.

Steam Cleaning: Some models use steam to loosen dirt before suctioning it away, which can be particularly effective for sanitizing surfaces.

Shampooing: Certain portable cleaners also have a shampooing function, where a foamy detergent is applied and then scrubbed into the carpet fibers before being vacuumed.

Common Components: Portable carpet cleaners typically feature a water tank for clean and dirty water, brushes or rollers for agitation, a hose for spot cleaning, and various nozzles or attachments for different surfaces.

3. Key Benefits of Portable Carpet Cleaners

Portable carpet cleaners offer several advantages that make them ideal for busy households:

Convenience for Busy Homes: Their compact size and lightweight design make them easy to grab and use whenever a spill or stain occurs, without the hassle of setting up a full-sized machine.

Effective Spot Cleaning and Stain Removal: These machines are particularly effective at targeting specific areas, whether it’s a fresh spill or a set-in stain.

Portability and Easy Storage: They are small enough to store in a closet or under a sink, and can be easily carried around the house or even taken in the car for cleaning upholstery.

Versatility for Different Surfaces: Beyond carpets, many portable cleaners can be used on upholstery, stairs, car interiors, and even mattresses.

4. Factors to Consider When Choosing a Portable Carpet Cleaner

When selecting a portable carpet cleaner, consider the following factors to ensure it meets your needs:

Cleaning Power and Performance: The effectiveness of a carpet cleaner depends on its suction power and the efficiency of its cleaning technology. Look for models with strong motors and well-designed cleaning brushes.

Water Tank Capacity and Efficiency: A larger water tank means fewer trips to refill, but it also adds to the weight. Balance capacity with portability based on your cleaning needs.

Ease of Use and Maneuverability: Features like ergonomic handles, easy-to-use controls, and lightweight design contribute to overall ease of use.

Weight and Portability: The cleaner should be light enough to carry around the house without strain. Consider whether you need a corded model, which might offer more power, or a cordless one for better mobility.

Corded vs. Cordless Models: Cordless models offer greater freedom of movement, but may have shorter battery life. Corded models generally provide continuous power but require access to an outlet.

Attachments and Accessories: Many portable cleaners come with additional tools, such as crevice tools, upholstery brushes, or specialized pet stain tools. These can enhance the machine’s versatility.

Noise Levels: Some models can be quite loud, which may be disruptive in a busy household. Look for models that operate quietly if this is a concern.

5. Top Portable Carpet Cleaners for Busy Homes

Here are some of the best portable carpet cleaners currently available, each offering unique features that cater to different needs:

Bissell SpotClean ProHeat: Known for its powerful suction and Heatwave Technology, which maintains water temperature for effective cleaning. Ideal for tough stains and high-traffic areas.

Hoover PowerDash GO: A compact, lightweight cleaner that is perfect for quick cleanups and small spaces. It’s easy to use and store, making it a great choice for apartments or smaller homes.

Rug Doctor Portable Spot Cleaner: Offers professional-grade cleaning power in a portable package. It features a motorized brush that agitates carpet fibers to remove deep stains.

BISSELL Little Green ProHeat: This eco-friendly model is made from recycled materials and features a built-in heater for better cleaning results. It’s also compact and easy to store.

6. How to Use a Portable Carpet Cleaner Effectively

Maximizing the performance of your portable carpet cleaner involves following best practices:

Pre-Treatment of Stains: Before using the cleaner, pre-treat tough stains with a suitable carpet stain remover to loosen dirt and grime.

Best Practices for Spot Cleaning: Use the appropriate attachment for the job and work from the outside of the stain toward the center to avoid spreading.

Maintaining Your Carpet Cleaner: Regularly clean the water tank, brushes, and nozzles to prevent buildup and ensure your cleaner operates efficiently.

Tips for Prolonging Carpet Life: Regular use of your portable cleaner can help extend the life of your carpet by preventing dirt and stains from setting in.

7. Maintenance and Care Tips for Portable Carpet Cleaners

Proper maintenance ensures your portable carpet cleaner remains effective over time:

Regular Cleaning and Maintenance: Empty and rinse the water tanks after each use, and clean the brushes and attachments to remove any debris or residue.

Storing the Cleaner Properly: Store your cleaner in a dry, cool place to prevent damage and prolong its lifespan.

Troubleshooting Common Issues: If the cleaner loses suction or stops spraying, check for clogs in the hose or nozzle, and ensure the tanks are properly seated.

When to Replace Parts or Accessories: Replace worn brushes, hoses, or other accessories as needed to maintain optimal cleaning performance.

Hearing from real users can provide valuable insights into how these cleaners perform in everyday situations:

How to Choose the Right Equipment for Water Damage Restoration

Water damage restoration is a critical process that requires specialized equipment to effectively handle and mitigate the damage caused by water intrusion. Whether you’re a homeowner tackling minor issues or a professional dealing with extensive damage, selecting the right equipment is crucial for a successful restoration. This article provides a comprehensive guide on how to choose the right equipment for water damage restoration, ensuring that you can manage the process efficiently and effectively.

Understanding the Types of Equipment Needed

The first step in choosing the right equipment is understanding the types of equipment required for various stages of water damage restoration. The process generally involves several key phases: water extraction, drying, cleaning, and dehumidification. Each of these phases requires specific tools to ensure thorough and efficient restoration.

Water Extraction Equipment: This includes high-powered pumps and wet vacuums designed to remove standing water from affected areas. For minor water damage, a portable wet vacuum may suffice. However, for more extensive damage, especially in commercial settings or large residential areas, industrial-grade pumps are necessary. These pumps are capable of handling large volumes of water quickly and efficiently.

Drying Equipment: After extracting water, the next step is drying out the affected area. This is done using air movers and dehumidifiers. Air movers, or fans, help to circulate air and accelerate the evaporation process. Dehumidifiers remove moisture from the air, preventing secondary damage such as mold growth. Both types of equipment work together to thoroughly dry out water-damaged materials.

Cleaning and Sanitizing Equipment: If the water damage involves contamination, such as from sewage or floodwater, cleaning and sanitizing become critical. Equipment in this category includes steam cleaners, scrubbers, and disinfectants. These tools help to remove contaminants, eliminate odors, and ensure that the affected areas are safe and hygienic.

Assessing Your Needs

Choosing the right equipment involves assessing the extent of the water damage and your specific needs. For smaller, localized issues, basic equipment such as a wet vacuum and small air movers might be sufficient. However, for larger or more severe damage, particularly in commercial or multi-story buildings, you’ll need more powerful and specialized equipment.

Severity of Damage: Evaluate the severity of the water damage to determine the size and type of equipment required. For minor leaks or spills, residential-grade equipment may be adequate. For major flooding or significant damage, industrial-grade equipment will be necessary to handle the volume and ensure thorough restoration.

Size of the Area: The size of the affected area also impacts equipment choice. For small rooms or single areas, portable equipment may be sufficient. For larger spaces or entire buildings, you’ll need equipment with higher capacities and capabilities, such as larger dehumidifiers and high-output air movers.

Type of Water Damage: The type of water involved (clean, gray, or black) will influence the choice of cleaning and sanitizing equipment. Contaminated water requires more advanced cleaning and disinfecting tools to ensure proper sanitation and safety.

Quality and Efficiency

When selecting equipment, quality and efficiency are paramount. High-quality equipment not only performs better but also lasts longer, offering better value over time. Look for equipment from reputable brands known for their durability and performance. Additionally, efficient equipment can speed up the restoration process, reducing downtime and minimizing further damage.

Brand and Reliability: Choose equipment from trusted manufacturers with a reputation for reliability and performance. Investing in high-quality tools can lead to better results and fewer issues during the restoration process.

Energy Efficiency: Consider the energy efficiency of the equipment. Energy-efficient models can save on operating costs and are better for the environment. Look for equipment with energy-saving features and certifications.

Training and Maintenance

Proper use and maintenance of restoration equipment are essential for optimal performance. Ensure that you or your team are trained in the operation of the equipment to maximize its effectiveness and avoid potential damage. Regular maintenance and servicing of the equipment are also crucial to ensure its longevity and reliability.

Training: Ensure that operators are trained in the correct use of the equipment. Proper training helps in efficient operation and prevents misuse or damage.

Maintenance: Regularly maintain and service your equipment to keep it in good working condition. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for maintenance and address any issues promptly.

Conclusion

Choosing the right equipment for water damage restoration is essential for effective and efficient recovery. By understanding the types of equipment needed, assessing your specific needs, and focusing on quality and efficiency, you can ensure that you are well-equipped to handle water damage effectively. Whether you are dealing with minor issues or extensive damage, selecting the appropriate tools will significantly impact the success of your restoration efforts and the overall condition of your property.

Let's dive in and discover how to keep your carpets fresh and inviting despite any four-legged shenanigans!

The Importance of Choosing the Right Carpet Steam Cleaner for Pet Messes

Types of Carpet Steam Cleaners

Several types of carpet steam cleaners are available, each with unique features and benefits.

Upright steam cleaners are the most popular choice for deep-cleaning carpets. They offer strong suction power and larger water tanks, making them efficient for extensive areas. Their design allows users to cover more ground quickly.

Portable models provide flexibility and convenience. They're lightweight and easy to maneuver, perfect for spot cleaning or tackling messes in hard-to-reach places. These compact machines can often be stored with little space.

Canister steam cleaners come with versatile attachments, allowing you to clean various surfaces beyond carpets. This is ideal if you want a multi-functional device supporting your home cleaning routine.

Each type serves specific purposes, ensuring there's a suitable option available whether you're dealing with everyday dirt or stubborn pet stains.

Top Features to Look for in a Carpet Steam Cleaner for Pet Messes

Certain features can significantly improve the cleaning experience when searching for the best carpet steam cleaner for pets.

First, consider powerful suction capabilities. Strong suction removes deep-seated dirt and pet hair effectively.

Next is a specialized pet stain tool. This feature targets stubborn stains from accidents or spills, ensuring they don't fall into your carpets.

Also, look for dual-tank systems—these separate clean water from dirty water, keeping your cleaning solution fresh and more effective.

Pay attention to portable options, too. A lightweight design lets you tackle messes quickly without dragging around heavy equipment.

Check for attachments like upholstery brushes. These allow you to clean furniture and car interiors where pets may have left their mark.

Tips for Removing Pet Stains and Odors from Carpets

Dealing with pet stains can be daunting, but quick action can make all the difference. Start by blotting up any liquid with paper towels or an old cloth. Avoid rubbing; this only pushes the mess more deeply into the fibers.

For stubborn stains, consider using a mixture of white vinegar and water. This natural solution neutralizes odors while breaking down stains effectively. Spray it on the affected area and let it sit for about 10 minutes before blotting again.

Baking soda is another powerful ally against odors. After cleaning, sprinkle baking soda over the damp carpet to absorb lingering smells. Leave it overnight for maximum effect, and vacuum it up in the morning.

Always test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first to ensure no discoloration or damage to your carpet. With these tips, you'll tackle those pesky pet messes like a pro!
