Looking for advice.
So I moved into an apartment in November, and it had bedbugs. I haven’t really slept there much since but my roommate did the whole time. Our place was treated multiple times, we’d keep finding one. Anyways… things have gone pretty well with my partner and I’ve decided once my lease is up I’ll be moving in with him… I’m leaving all my big furniture, tvs, ect there unfortunately as I don’t wanna risk it even if he hasn’t seen one for the past month.
I’m just looking for any extra advice if people in this sub have moved when having bb. My plan is as follows:
My roommates sibling is good with computers, so I’m getting him to open my laptop and fully inspect it to see if there’s any inside. (As that’s really the only salvageable tech I don’t want to loose as I really can’t afford a new one) All clothes, plushies, towels, shoes will be dried on high heat for an hour, bagged in garbage bags and then dried again in high heat for an hour once we get to my partners place.
Any trickets will be steam cleaned… and I also have a new pink computer chair I’m thinking about inspecting and steaming but honestly I’d like advice on that if it’s worth it… I’m already leaving 90% of the furnishings behind… then I know my dishes should be fine but I’m going to wash those too and box them up outside.
My lease is up on August so my partner and I plan on starting soon to do bag at a time so that it spaces out the work load and we can make sure everything has been properly inspected, dried, cleaned ect, especially where I don’t want to be packing things in boxes as that makes me more nervous.
I also bought an air fryer, and blender and I was wondering if those should be ok…
My roommate (also my friend) plans on staying there so I’m going to ask to keep my luggage there until I know for a fact they are gone and then I will steam them (they are hard shell luggage and I was able to successfully steam clean my little carryon without any issues (minus melting the wheel a bit… but it was worth it to know those suckers are aren’t there) and I’m going to steam clean any purses that can not be dried (i known how to steam them, the seams and any folds, pockets ect trust me I go HAM) but any additional advice would be great :) I’m unfortunately going to take as little as possible with me when I move.
