can knickknacks be cleaned with a steam cleaner?

Maryland Gareau: You may want to consider paying someone to come in and wash them. Then you won't have to do it. It's just a thought. Good luck.

Cletus Crotts: hard situation. check out in bing and yahoo. just that may help!

Andra Oger: A steam cleaner will clean them insofar as to make them bacteria free. A steam cleaner will not remove dust or grime unless you clean each pieces with a soft rag by hand after applying the steam.

Gaylord Barragan: You can try it but if they are in need of a good cleaning, they should be dipped in a tub of warm soapy water and gently wiped with a soft cloth. I don;t know if the steam might remove any paint or decoration depending on what kind of ornaments you have. I usually just wipe mine down with a damp J-cloth and then dry with a soft towel. Good luck! :)

Javier Holsonback: It depends on what they are made of firstly, a combination of heat and steam may degrade some water soluble materials faster than just wiping with a damp cloth. And secondly, I couldn't imagine it doing much besides getting the dust wet, then it would dry on and look worse and be harder to clean than before. No one like cleaning, but unfortunately, if you want Knick knacks, you have to dust them.
