đź§  What This Service Is

This service is designed to help eliminate potential bed bugs and their eggs from clothing as part of the preparation process.

  • đź§ş Items are transferred directly from bags into machines
  • 🔥 Clothing is dried on high heat for a minimum of 30+ minutes

🎯 Purpose of This Service

Bed bugs and their eggs can hide in:

  • Clothing
  • Linens

This service helps ensure that clothing is properly processed without increasing the risk of spreading bed bugs during handling.
