Q: will the McCulloch MC-1275 Heavy-Duty Steam Cleaner kill bed bugs

Yes, it will kill them but please keep in mind you MUST leave the stream directly on the bug for at least 1 minute. I didn't do this at first and the stream would just stun the bed bugs and they would reanimate after a few minutes. Also with the spray nozzle, it can blow them away. I found the most effective attachment was the flat, floor attachment to keep the steam hitting the bug for the required length of time to kill them dead with out blowing them away. Good luck!

Q: What is the difference between the 1375 and the 1275? Thanks.

1375 - 90 mins of steam and 20 accessories, 1275 - 45mins of steam and 18 accessories. Biggest difference is the 1275 has no variable control on the steam pressure output to the hand nozzle, where the 1375 has a variable control to adjust the steam pressure depending on cleaning job you are tackling.

Q: I have tile floors with grout that has been repeatedly stained with dog urine. Would this steamer work for this or just make it smell worse?

I think it would depend on your tiles and your own level of cleanliness and how much elbow grease and time you want to put in. I have flagstone with thick grout lines. I find the steamer helpful for quick jobs or jobs where I am not overly concerned about the finished look. I used the steamer to clean the house that we bought after all the contractors (including two dry walling companies) were finished. Based on the pads, I wasn't getting it as clean as I wanted it to be. I was aiming for a shoeless house so I wanted it clean enough that when you did a regular mopping the mop water would be a light gray. I finally got to that state using a soap and water solution buffing it in with a floor buffer (Oreck 550 MC bought on Amazon) then using a wetvac to suck it up. It was more efficient and my regular house cleaner and the contractors were all impressed. After that, I applied Stonetech sealer bulletproof (also bought on Amazon, but my tile guy was so impressed with my cleaning that he brought me a gallon sized one as a present--$100 value!). In my experience with many different kinds of floors remodeling houses for myself and other people, this has been the best method I have come up with so far. I have dogs and kids and this would be the method I would use. As for smell, I think it works best. I have used nature's cleaner, vinegar and baking soda to try to get rid of smells. The steam cleaner does work and I don't know if it was the combination of both processes but I got rid of the smell. There was leftover smell from the house not being occupied for three years. Some people commented that the house smelled different at the end and it wasn't the new house smell. I use Caldrea all purpose cleaner 1/4 cup mixed in a big yellow industrial bucket full of water for my wet mopping chores.

Q: I have an acrylic shower. Has anyone used the steam cleaner on similar fixtures?

I have used my McCulloch on almost everything. My husband kids me, if he stood still too long I would steam clean him. I have acrylic parts on my refrigerator, coffee pot , micro wave. I use it to dust off my artificial plants and trees. In other words I use it on almost everything. But never, never on electronic items or screens.
