Steam Cleaning Can Help You Rid Your Home
Of Bed Bugs
Wondering how to use a steam
cleaner to kill bed bugs? You’re not alone. Bed bugs have become a rampant
problem in recent years and not just in dirty or ill kept homes. Bed bugs
can creep up almost anywhere and once they take hold, it can be nearly
impossible to rid your home of infestation. One of the most prove, effective
and environmentally friendly ways to stop bed bugs in their tracks is by
steam cleaning.
Bed bugs get their name because they tend to take up residence in areas
where they have a ready supply of blood to feed on. Since they feed at
night, that means finding us in our beds. And because they are so small,
they can easily burrow down into the center of mattresses, box springs and
pillows to lay their eggs. They don't just stop at the bed. They will crawl
into the dresser, baseboards, closets and bed rails. Before you know it,
you’ve got an infestation on your hands.
Once they’ve settled in, bed bugs will come out at night to feed and leave
behind small bites, similar to other insect bites, that can be itchy and
uncomfortable. The good news is they don't carry any diseases. As long
as they’ve got a food source, there is almost nothing that can stop them
from flourishing. Which brings us to the question of how to use a steam
cleaner to kill bed bugs.
Short of throwing out your mattress, box spring and bed frame, how can you
clear up a bed bug infestation? The most effective way is by using steam.
Not only will a steam cleaner kill adult bed bugs, the heat of the steam
also works to kill their eggs before they can hatch. And because the steam
can seep into fabrics, it can target bed bugs right where they live. The key
to steam cleaning anything made of fabric is not to get it too damp.
Now you know why you should use a steam cleaner but there’s still the
question of how to use a steam cleaner to kill bed bugs. Fortunately, there
are easy to use, portable steam cleaners like the
Vapamore MR100 Primo portable steam cleaner, which make steam cleaning
as easy as 1-2-3. Simply fill the tank with purified water, turn on the
switch and in about 10 minutes you’ll have enough steam to clean for up to
an hour.
Strip the bed and start with the
mattress and box springs. You can either wash the pillows or steam clean
them. Next clean the bed rails, base molding and then remove the drawers
from the dresser and clean them inside and out. Keep a close eye out and
repeat in a few days if you see them again.
And because
