Steps to Cleaning Your Home after a Head Lice Infestation

Cleaning After Your Home After A Lice Infestation Simplified

Remember head lice do not live in homes, however preventative measures should be taken as a precaution. There are some simple steps a person can take instead of using toxic sprays or even natural sprays to clean the home. Concentrate on cleaning what has been used within a 2-3 day period of time prior to treatment. Focus on areas where the head comes in contact. Then follow these simple steps.

It's all that you need to do.
Then relax. It is only necessary to do this one time after the initial first treatment

Vacuum the carpets, couches, car seats, etc
Clean your bed linens, clothes, jackets, hats, backpacks, stuffed animals, American girl dolls, Barbies, etc. Wash in the laundry, vacuum, or put aside in a bag for 3 days prior to using.
Clean Brushes & Combs: Boil a pot of water, take it off the burner, soak your brushes & combs for 20 minutes. Or clean the hair out and throw them in your dishwasher.
Wipe down surfaces such as leather.
If items cannot be washed, but are safe in the dryer, run them through the dryer on high heat for twenty minutes.
Don’t worry about your pet; Lice do not live on animals.

Important Fact:
If have chosen to treat head lice on your own and find that it keeps coming back, it is not because the home is infested. Don't waste your time continuing to clean your house. Remember, lice need human blood to survive and will die off of its host within 48 hours.. This means your home is not infested, but that you never fully got rid of the lice and or nits from the hair.
