BED BUGS / DUST MITES
To eliminate bed bugs or dust mites, use the large triangle brush (Item 3) or the Bed
Bugger (ordered separately) on the low steam setting. Move quickly over the mattress
and go over each area more than once to ensure complete and thorough elimination
of dust mites. Bed bugs and dust mites will die on contact from the steam.
Immediately use a vacuum over treat areas.
Make sure to treat both sides of the mattress and all areas around the bed including
baseboards.
Mattress should be slightly damp to the touch but not wet so let it air-dry before putting
bed linens back on the mattress.
