WHAT TO DO IF YOU FIND
A BED BUG IN YOUR
CLOTHES?
An all-American favorite
Set the washer and dryer to the hottest
setting suitable for your items.
Mention to dry cleaning service that the
items may have bed bugs to keep them in
the plastic bags until the dry-cleaning starts.
Examine all suitcases and shoes thoroughly
and place them into plastic bags as well.
Hand-wash them with hot (100°F to 120°F)
soapy water. Use a scrub brush along the
folds and seams..
You can heat some items. Two-hour core
exposure at 120°F (45°C) is a minimum
target temperature.
To freeze store the items in a deep
freezer for a minimum of 5- 10 days at
23°F (-5°C) or 2 days to -15°F (-26°C).
Anything that can be washed should be sorted
and placed in plastic bags. Before bagging,
separate clothing as they will go to the dryer and
washing machine. That will prevent escaping bed
bugs while sorting the laundry at home.
