Bed bug dry cleaning is a process that requires a special approach to ensure that your household fabrics, garments, and items are properly cleaned free of bed bugs. This process starts by identifying the source of bed bugs. Often bed bugs are undetected until they have made themselves at home in your bed, mattress, or even your clothing. Once the area has been identified as having bed bugs it is important to treat these areas before continuing the rest of the dry cleaning process. Bed bug dry cleaning should involve an initial cleaning followed by follow up cleaning for upholstery, blankets and pillows. Drying bed bugs isn’t as simple as it sounds. Bed bugs are great for hiding and can be carried in a number of places. The first step in preparing your dry cleaning business for bed bug dry cleaning is cleaning your entire facility from top to bottom. This includes removing heaters, fans, coils, ductwork, vents, wall panels and anything else that could contain the bed bugs you’re trying to remove.
Bed Bug Dry Cleaning
Bed bugs are small insects that feed on blood from animals or humans. They are often active at night when people are sleeping.
Bed bugs are small insects that feed on blood from animals or humans. They are often active at night when people are sleeping. Bed bugs are attracted to carbon dioxide and body heat. Unlike fleas, bed bugs do not jump, but they can move quickly over floor, walls, ceilings and other surfaces. Bedbugs can stay hidden for months without feeding.
Bed bug bites generally cause a raised red bump on the skin with a white center (itchy bumps). The insect’s saliva contains an anticoagulant that allows it to feed safely for several minutes without being interrupted by any blood clotting in the host’s skin (which would normally occur within seconds of being bitten by another animal). After feeding on humans, bedbugs hide near their host’s sleeping place or where they eat so they can return to these sites after their next mealtime; this behavior is called “homing”. Adult bedbugs have flat bodies that enable them to hide in cracks and crevices such as mattress seams or behind baseboards.
They typically hide in the seams, tufts, or folds of mattresses, box springs, bed frames and headboards.
Bed bugs are elusive creatures that can be very difficult to find. They typically hide in the seams, tufts, or folds of mattresses, box springs, bed frames and headboards. They can also hide in other furniture such as couches and chairs, behind wallpaper, and under any clutter or objects around a bed.
The bite of a bed bug is painless, and a person may not know they have been bitten. If a person does notice the bites, they may see red or red-brown marks on their skin.
Bed bugs are attracted to body heat, so they tend to infest beds and areas where people sleep. They can survive in temperatures as low as 47 degrees Fahrenheit (8 degrees Celsius) and as high as 122 degrees Fahrenheit (50 degrees Celsius), so they can live in many places besides beds. Bed bugs are not known to spread disease.
- Look for signs of bedbugs. Check your mattress and all of its furniture by carefully inspecting it with a flashlight, magnifying glass and tweezers. You should also look for eggs, molted skins, blood stains or fecal spots on your sheets or mattress pad.*
The bites can cause skin rashes, allergic reactions and psychological effects.
If you get bitten by a bed bug, the bite marks can cause skin rashes, allergic reactions and psychological effects. Some of the most common symptoms of being bitten by a bed bug include:
- Bite marks on your skin.
- Itchy skin.
- Burns or blisters caused by their saliva.
- Hives (raised red welts on the skin).
If you have been bitten by a bed bug and develop any of these symptoms, see your doctor immediately to prevent future complications from occurring.
People with weakened immune systems may require treatment for serious infections.
If you suspect that you have bed bugs in your home, it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. If you do not treat an infestation as soon as it appears, they can quickly multiply and spread to others in the home or apartment building. Treatment is not difficult or expensive; most local exterminators will be able to provide additional information on a variety of treatment options available near you.
Keep in mind that while it is important to remove the insects from your home by using professional cleaning services or fumigation if necessary, there are many other steps that one should take before considering these options if they are going through this problem themselves without professional help. When dealing with bed bugs alone at home:
- Try washing all bedding, clothing and linens on high heat for 30 minutes (or according to manufacturer’s instructions). Wash floors too with hot water; dry items completely before putting them back into storage areas!
- Vacuum upholstery thoroughly with attachments designed specifically for pet hair removal (do not use vacuum bag). Empty contents into outside bin immediately after vacuuming so no eggs survive until next time when they hatch out again!
• Useful tips
If you think that you have a bed bug problem, contact your local pest control expert. They will be able to help you determine whether or not bed bugs are present, and if so, what the next steps should be. Bed bug bites can be treated with over-the-counter creams or sprays. However, if you’re experiencing severe reactions from a bed bug bite or multiple bites in one area of your body (such as an ear), consult a doctor immediately for further treatment options.
In order to prevent the spread of bed bugs:
- Inspect new items before bringing them into your home (especially those purchased secondhand). If possible, place them in plastic bags until they’ve been inspected by an exterminator; this will make it much easier to detect any signs of infestation during the inspection process itself.* Wash all clothing and linens regularly in hot water (130°F) and dry on high heat settings.* Don’t bring suitcases into your house or leave them unattended unless absolutely necessary.* Keep beds away from walls at least 18 inches apart; this helps prevent heat loss through cracks where insects might enter from outside sources* Keep mattresses off floors by using box springs or risers—this way there won’t be any gaps between baseboards near where these types of items sit
