2. Deep clean items that could be infested
Did you know that there are other objects besides the bed that can be infested with bugs? That’s why many of your items need a proper cleaning, and that can imply washing your clothing, plushies, and sheets at a high temperature in a tumble dryer or freezing the non-washable items for at least 24 hours.
For larger items, such as mattresses or furniture, you should use a steam cleaner on the hottest setting above 140 Fahrenheit. Run it over the upholstery and the bed multiple times, but pay attention to the nooks and crannies where the bugs tend to hide. This is probably the most efficient way to clean them!
