LICE FACTS
Use the high heat drying cycle for 40 minutes on bedding, clothes and stuffed toys that have been worn or laid on in the last 72 hours. Clothing and items that are not tolerant of high heat can be placed in a freezer for 12 hours or sealed in a plastic bag for 72 hours.
1.
Combs, brushes and hair ties can be placed into a plastic bag inside the freezer for 12 hours. This way all items come out in the same condition they went into the freezer, unlike using boiling water.
2.
Vacuum the floor and furniture, particularly where the infested person sat or lay. Don't forget to vacuum car seats or go over them with a sticky lint roller. The good news about head lice is that they don't burrow.
3.
Wipe down all cell phones, ear buds, glasses, sunglasses and earrings worn in the last 72 hours.
