Getting rid of bed bugs is often challenging, and maintaining a spotless home alone does not guarantee protection against these pests. The introduction of just one pregnant bed bug can lead to a prolonged infestation. The most effective solution is using a steam cleaner, as bed bugs are particularly vulnerable to heat.
How to Use a Steam Cleaner to Eliminate Bed Bugs?
👉 Start by washing all bedding at a temperature of at least 120°F (49°C) to eliminate bed bugs and their eggs.
👉 Vacuum the area thoroughly to remove debris and any visible eggs.
👉 Use our steam cleaner, which can reach temperatures up to 360°F (160°C), well above the threshold needed to kill bed bugs.
👉 Focus on all potential hiding spots: mattresses, box springs, bed frames, and upholstered furniture.
👉 Hold the steam cleaner steady over each area for at least 30 seconds to ensure deep heat penetration.
👉 Let the treated areas dry completely after steam cleaning.
👉 Repeat the process as necessary, and expect complete eradication within 2 to 7 days.
What are the key features of the steam cleaner?
The steam cleaner has a 71 oz water tank for quick heating within 3 to 8 minutes and provides up to 60 minutes of continuous steam. This allows for extensive cleaning sessions without the need for refills, making it effective for bed bug eradication.
How is the steam cleaner designed to improve bed bug treatment?
It features a 10-foot power cord and a 7-foot steam hose for excellent reach and maneuverability. This design is ideal for thoroughly treating bed bug-prone areas like mattresses and furniture.
What is the power rating of the steam cleaner, and how does it help in killing bed bugs?
With a 2000W power rating, the steam cleaner generates high heat that penetrates fabrics and crevices, effectively killing bed bugs and their eggs without chemicals.
What accessories come with the steam cleaner, and how do they help in controlling bed bugs?
The steam cleaner includes 16 accessories such as brushes and nozzles, designed to target different surfaces and tight spaces where bed bugs hide, enhancing the effectiveness of the steam treatment.
How should the steam cleaner be used for effective bed bug control?
Fill the water tank with distilled cold water, turn on the unit, and wait for the indicator light to turn off. Use the appropriate accessory to methodically treat all suspected bed bug areas, allowing the steam to penetrate and kill the pests.
What is recommended for best results against bed bugs?
For optimal results, use the steam cleaner in combination with the BedGuard Ultrasonic Repeller. This dual approach applies heat to exterminate existing bed bugs and uses ultrasonic waves to prevent new infestations, ensuring comprehensive pest control.
Can I use the steam cleaner for other surfaces besides furniture?
Absolutely yes! Our BugBlaster steam cleaner can be used everywhere: ceramic tiles, granite countertops, sealed wood flooring, laminate, appliances, cars, or grills, leaving them spotless and residue-free.
