THE GREAT CLEAN UP OF LICE

We are only concerned with live adult bugs for the house cleanup. After treatment at one of our Lice Lifters locations and follow up with our treatment schedule there should not have any live bugs. The house cleaning needs to be done one time only. While doing a cleanup is an important step, treating the head is most important.

You must take care of the checklist below so that the treatment you just received can be most successful. Here it goes…

Laundry…put items in the dryer for 30 minutes on high heat

*This list you only have to do after the first The Nit Nanny® Lice Solution treatment

□        Special stuffed animals, blankets, or lovies that can go in the dryer (do this 1st so it is available as soon as possible)

□        Bed linens, comforters, blankets, pillow shams, towels. Lice do not burrow. They are

only on the surface

□        Any clothes in the laundry and on the floor

□        Coats, hats, hoody sweatshirts, sweaters (anything that has been worn in the last 3 days)

**Anything that cannot withstand the hot dryer cycle or be vacuumed needs to be bagged for 2 - 3 days.  An adult louse cannot survive long than 48 hours off of a human host.

Things to vacuum…Only clean areas that have had direct head contact

□       Cloth sofas and chairs

□       Cloth car seats and safety seats

□       Any large throw pillows or bed rest pillows that can’t go in the dryer                                       

□       Carpets that kids have laid on around the TV, bedroom, and playroom

□       Carpets that clothes may be laying on

*It is known that a louse cannot survive very long without a human host.  Lice have legs with claws on the ends of them so they can cling to fabric but cannot get around well on leather, plastic, wood or other flat surfaces. Lice do not burrow. Items such as pillows or mattress pads that were covered by a pillowcase or sheet do not need to be cleaned.
