The problem is that getting rid of these stains can be tricky, as bed bugs feed directly on human blood and leave fecal marks behind. In addition to this, when they’re crushed they release a brown spot in the shape of their dried body. Learning how to remove bed bug stains is important if you are struggling with bed bugs in your home. These little blood suckers are notorious for their tendency to leave stains on furniture, mattress, and other household items.

This can leave behind a large stain and odor. I’m going to show you how to get rid of these nasty stains.

How To Remove Bed Bug Stains

Introduction

To remove bed bug stains, first put on some rubber gloves to protect yourself from the excrement. If you can do so without disturbing the infestation, use a vacuum cleaner to remove any loose feces. Then wipe up the excess excrement with a disposable cloth and spray the area with disinfectant to kill bacteria and other pathogens. To absorb the stain, sprinkle baking soda or cornstarch onto it and wait 5-10 minutes before vacuuming again. Finally, dab at any remaining residue with soap and water until it has dissolved completely. If you notice fresh bed bug stains after cleaning, repeat this process until your mattress or box spring is free of them!

Wear protective gloves.

  • Wear protective gloves.
  • Remove the stain with a damp cloth and mild soap, if needed.
  • Apply a disinfectant to the area, following product instructions carefully, including waiting time between application and vacuuming (if applicable).
  • Vacuum thoroughly before you remove your contaminated clothing, bedding or pillowcases from the room where you found bed bugs; then launder as usual using hot water and detergent on a regular cycle in order to kill any remaining eggs in these items

Use a disposable cloth to remove excess excrement.

  • Use a disposable cloth to remove excess excrement. If you have access to a clean rag or paper towel, use that instead of the bed bug’s actual body (which you should throw away). Dampen it with water, but don’t soak it—you don’t want it dripping wet.
  • Use a dry cloth to wipe off any excess moisture from the surface of your furniture. This step is essential for removing stains and marks left behind by bed bugs after they die on your mattress or furniture.
  • You can only use this method if you have access to clean cloths that were made specifically for cleaning purposes such as laundry daycloths or old t-shirts; never use clothing worn by yourself or others–even if they say they haven’t had any bites yet! Also avoid using anything used in food preparation because oils from foods like fried foods tend not only remain on surfaces but also attract more insects which could make matters worse.”

Use a disinfectant to kill bacteria and other pathogens.

You should use a disinfectant that is safe for use on fabrics. This can be found in the laundry aisle at most grocery stores, or you can ask a salesperson for help finding one if you are unsure. Do not use bleach, alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, vinegar or dish soap (or any other cleaning product). These will cause discoloration and/or damage to your mattress cover or sheets.

Absorb the stain with baking soda or cornstarch.

If you have baking soda, cornstarch or talcum powder on hand, you can use it to absorb the stain. If not, try combining powdered detergent with water until it forms a paste. Apply the paste to the stain and let it sit for about 10 minutes before blotting away the excess with a clean cloth.

Dab the area with soap and water to dissolve remaining baking soda or cornstarch.

Dab the area with soap and water to dissolve remaining baking soda or cornstarch.

You can also use a small amount of liquid laundry detergent on the stain, but it may take several applications depending on how much baking soda or cornstarch was used.

Vacuum the area thoroughly, including along seams and in cracks.

To get rid of bed bugs, you’ll need to vacuum the area thoroughly, including along seams and in cracks.

To do this, use a vacuum with a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter. The crevice tool will help you get into all of the small places in your mattress and box spring seams where bed bugs tend to hide and lay eggs.

Bed bug stains can be removed if you clean them carefully.

Bed bug stains are a common sight, as they are left on the mattress and pillows after a bed bug infestation. These stains can be removed, but it’s important to use the right techniques.

First, use disinfectants in order to kill bacteria as well as any other pathogens that may be present on your mattress. This will make it possible for you to clean them thoroughly without risking infection or illness. If possible, vacuum up any loose particles before starting your cleaning process; this will make it easier for them to absorb into the fabric of your sheets or pillowcases if they fall off during washing and drying later on down the line!

If there are still stubborn stains lurking around after using disinfectants then try using baking soda instead – just sprinkle some onto top of these spots until they’re gone completely (make sure not too much though). Baking soda acts similarly like cornstarch does except without smelling quite so bad afterwards either which makes perfect sense given how both materials contain similar chemical compounds under closer scrutiny.”

Conclusion

Removing bed bug stains is one of the last steps to take after you’ve cleaned your home of these pests. The process can be messy, so be sure to wear protective gloves and use a disposable cloth to avoid spreading the excrement further. Always follow up with an antibacterial disinfectant and vacuuming in order to prevent any pathogens from spreading around your home.
