Bed Bug Clothes Washing – for bed bugs and dust mites. Leave it to the bugs to teach us about taking care of our clothing. Contrary to what you would expect, clothes washing is an important part of minimizing the risk you have from both bed bugs and dust mites. There are a lot of very important reasons why your clothes should be clean before sleeping in them. Doing so will aid in the removal of sweat, excess body oils, and skin cells that otherwise would carry crumbs and pollen and other debris directly into your mattress. This by itself will assist, not only in making your bed more comfortable to sleep on, but also reduce your chance of being afflicted with allergies.Washing your clothes is the best way to remove bed bugs. 95% of people who buy a bed bug kit and do not follow exact instructions like these wash their clothes on hot heat with detergent. The result is that you will get new infestations each time you do this.

Bed Bug Clothes Washing

Why You Need to Wash Your Clothes

Bed bug eggs can survive washing and drying. They can also live for months without food, so they will not be killed by the act of laundering your clothes. You should always wash all clothing that you think may have come into contact with bedbugs or their eggs, even if you don’t see any evidence of infestation on the surface of any item of clothing.

What Not to Do When Washing Clothing

• Don’t wash with other clothes.
• Don’t leave in laundry basket, hamper or laundry room.
• Don’t leave in a bag for more than a day before washing.
• Don’t put the items in the dryer on high heat for more than 20 minutes at a time (or lower if you have time). The heat will kill all eggs and larvae, which is great but it also ruins clothing fibers. High temperatures can cause shrinkage, pilling and fading; low temperatures won’t kill anything that’s already there so they are better suited to cleaning your clothes after treatment has been done with another method such as freezing or steam cleaning services like Pest Control Plus .

Cleaning Clothing in Dryers

To clean clothing, first wash the item in hot water and then dry it using a high heat setting. If you have to use a dryer instead of hanging your clothes out in the sun, use an industrial-grade heat sealer.

The best way to prevent pest infestation is to prevent bites that could lead to an infestation. This can be done by avoiding fabrics where bed bugs might hide, such as rugs, furniture upholstery and stuffed toys—especially if they are not cleaned regularly or rarely used items such as camping equipment or seasonal decorations.

Cleaning Clothing with Steamers

Steamers are a great way to kill bed bugs, their eggs and most other insects. Steamers heat water above the boiling point of 212 degrees Fahrenheit, which is enough to kill bed bugs and their eggs. They can be bought at hardware stores or from online retailers such as Amazon.com.

Steamers are also an effective way to clean upholstered furniture and mattresses because they leave no residue behind that could attract more insects than would normally be found in your home or business. If you have a steam cleaner with attachments for furniture, you can use it on chairs, couches and tables without damaging them since there’s no harsh chemicals involved in the process of killing pests like cockroaches or bedbugs with heated blasts of steam!

What to Do If a Bed Bug Falls Out of Dirty Laundry

You can kill the bed bug by doing the following:

• Insert a piece of tape over it. Once you’ve collected the bed bug in your trap, take off the lid and put it back on. Then, fold over an edge and press down to seal in your captured bed bug.
• Place the trap outside your house for two days to ensure that any other bugs have time to get out before you throw it away.

You also may want to consider calling an exterminator if you don’t feel comfortable dealing with this on your own or if there are many more than three bugs trapped in your trap after two days (if so, there’s probably an infestation).

You will need to wash your clothes if you have bed bugs.

Washing clothes is an important step in the process of getting rid of bed bugs. Bed bugs can be found on clothing and luggage, so it is important to wash any clothes that you’ve been wearing or using recently. You should wash all your clothes in hot water and laundry detergent before putting them away for storage. If you want to do a thorough job and get rid of bed bugs once and for all, then it’s best to use dry-cleaning chemicals after washing your clothes with hot water.
