(untreated mattresses, unprotected bed bases, etc.).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure that there are no more bedbugs in your home after treatment, you can <a

is a very reliable method.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The special case of mattresses, pillows and duvets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mattresses, pillows and duvets are among bed bugs&#8217; favourite places to hide. Warm, quiet and rarely cleaned thoroughly, these hiding places are ideal for adult insects, their eggs and even their droppings. But unlike clothing, these bulky items are difficult to wash in a machine. Here&#8217;s how to treat them effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mattresses: protect, treat or replace?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 <strong>Use a bed bug cover<\/strong>: designed to trap bed bugs inside the mattress, it prevents them from escaping or spreading. This is an essential solution during the entire bed bug treatment process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 <strong>Vacuum thoroughly<\/strong> all sides of the mattress, paying particular attention to the seams, then dispose of the bag in a sealed bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 <strong>In the event of a severe infestation, call in a professional<\/strong> who can apply a heat or chemical treatment directly to the mattress. High temperatures kill bedbugs and their eggs and reduce the risk of recurrence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In some extreme cases, if the mattress is too infested or beyond repair, it is best to dispose of it by wrapping it in a sealed bag and labelling it \u2018Infested mattress\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u27a1\ufe0f <strong>For more information:<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sereni-d.com\/en\/our-advice\/bedbugs-in-the-mattress-inspection-and-processing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Bed bugs in a mattress: what to do<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sereni-d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Inspecter-le-matelas-pour-detecter-les-punaises-de-lit-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3751 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sereni-d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Inspecter-le-matelas-pour-detecter-les-punaises-de-lit-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sereni-d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Inspecter-le-matelas-pour-detecter-les-punaises-de-lit-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sereni-d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Inspecter-le-matelas-pour-detecter-les-punaises-de-lit-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sereni-d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Inspecter-le-matelas-pour-detecter-les-punaises-de-lit-600x401.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.sereni-d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Inspecter-le-matelas-pour-detecter-les-punaises-de-lit.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sereni-d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/oreillers.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14985 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sereni-d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/oreillers.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.sereni-d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/oreillers-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sereni-d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/oreillers-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sereni-d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/oreillers-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pillows, duvets and bed linen: what to do?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Machine wash at 60\u00b0C for at least 30 minutes.

These parasites are particularly resistant, especially in the egg stage. It is essential to wash your laundry at 60\u00b0C for at least 30 minutes, or opt for other methods such as steam cleaning or prolonged freezing for delicate fabrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u274c Mix infested laundry with the rest of your laundry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Never mix clothes infested with bed bugs with clean clothes. Use airtight bags to store and transport them, especially to the washing machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u274c Reusing a contaminated plastic bag<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After storing or transporting infested clothing, never reuse the same plastic bag. It could contain eggs or live bedbugs. Throw it away immediately in a tightly closed outdoor bin, or opt for specific disposable bags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u274c Leaving textiles in a corner of the room<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bed bugs like dark, quiet places. Leaving a pile of infested laundry on the floor or in a corner is like offering them the perfect refuge. Before washing, isolate the laundry in a bathtub, a smooth container or a closed bag, away from furniture or bedding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u274c Neglecting to dry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even after a thorough wash, drying at a low temperature can leave eggs viable. A tumble dryer at a high temperature (60\u00b0C or above) is essential to complete the treatment and eliminate bed bugs permanently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u27a1\ufe0f <strong>See also:<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sereni-d.com\/en\/our-advice\/home-remedies-for-bedbugs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Home remedies for bed bugs<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mattresses and clothing are among the favourite hiding places for bed bugs.
