How to get rid of bed bugs ?
Wash all your linens: Remove the sheet, duvet cover and pillowcase from your bed. Also grab your pillow(s) and take down your curtains. Then, put everything in the washing machine on a hot cycle. Once your laundry is finished, put your bedding in the dryer on very high heat for at least half an hour. Above all, be careful to look at the washing labels carefully because this method only works for cotton materials and not for delicate laundry.
Remove bedbugs from your mattress: After washing all your laundry, do not put them directly back on your mattress as it may be infested with bedbugs. To ensure you properly remove all bedbugs, actively scrub your mattress using a stiff brush. If you think that wasn’t enough, vacuum every surface of your mattress to remove every last critter. Finally, cover your mattress with your fresh linen to sleep peacefully. Be careful, if the contamination is too significant, you must get rid of your mattress. Before throwing it away, wrap it in plastic to avoid infesting the entire house with bedbugs.
