there's spray cleaners with bleach. a few spritzes,rinse and you're set. (the wash machine doesn't cut it!)

You could...but it had better be on the gentlest cycle you have. Or even better, hand wash it. I haven't noticed a smell and since its in contact with nothing other than the mattress, haven't had a need to wash it.

Do no put in a washer or submerge in water. A cloth or towel with a little water and soap is your best alternative. If it's soiled heavily, try to blot it dry. If small children are sleeping on it, it's advised as with any good bed, to put a protective layer down over.

You can't control and eliminate them with just this. You need an exterminator. And after the 2nd time they were here, I have had none.I used this product all around my bed and bed frame, every night. And I even sprayed it in my bed a couple of hours before I went to bed. It has a great minty smell. I also purchased the bed bug powder and put Glad containers under every leg and powder in it. And a mattress bed bug or allergen encasement. Good luck

Use mattress/boxspring covers and get some diatomaceous earth. put the powder in a ketchup squeeze bottle and squeeze out a solid line of it all along the edge of your boxspring and around the legs[wheels] of the frame. If you buy a new mattress, it will be a wste of money, as the bugs are hiding elsewhere and will infest your new bed. The point is to use the powder to create a barrier that the bugs will have to crawl through to get you. Yes, you are the bait. You must do this for at least 3 months. Vacuum often and replace. We have 5 bedrooms and 6 beds- we got rid of ours but still put powder down.

I have read that the paper it to be left on. I am not certain as to why, but I've left it on. Good luck, a bed bug scare is horrible. We have also edged our entire apartment with diatomacious earth and put it in the traps (the traps to not kill the bugs, they simply trap them). I hope all goes well for you. It is a battle!

I abandoned this bed. My dog destroyed it. "Incredible" cleaner from bed bath and beyond does great at getting the smell out of mattresses though.

I used a handheld model with a nozzle and other attachments. I SLOWLY steamed the mattress&box; springs(front and back) and the entire bed and surrounding carpet. Pay special attention to the seams, and quickly use plastic mattress covers that zipper-shut to encase each piece. REPLACE pillows. WASH all bedding. buy the McCulloch. handheld model didn't work after that one time(about 2hours usage)if bugs all over your house, hire an expert!

I used it on a mattress that had been "marked" so often that it turned yellow. I sprayed enough to saturate a large section of it and it removed all evidence of the stain. The smell was much less intense and I know that when I finish the mattress, it will look and smell unmarked.

I wouldnt have a good feeling to sleep in that directly after spraying. It smells not too bad, but not the way I would like to fall in sleep. :-) For me personel, I always would spray, let it work and dry and wash it after, before I sleep in that again. Okay... its quite ECO and not that chemical, but do you really want to sleep on top of that, if the same stuff KILLS those bugs? Keep in mind they provide the following Safety Information: CAUTION: KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. Avoid eye contact.

It sounds like it may need to be cleaned. You should have received cleaning instructions with the unit, but we will gladly email them to you if you need another copy. Please call our office at 800-PEST-ZAP.

No, but there is a better solution. "Diatomaceous Earth" Sprinkle this stuff around your bed, and they'll be gone in a few days. Works like a charm. http://www.amazon.com/Diatomaceous-Earth-Food-Grade-Lb/dp/B00025H2PO

buy a small $10.00 bellows duster here on amazon or at your local hardware store. put about 1/4 full in the duster. shake it up and turn the duster on it side so as not to squirt out a stream of powder. All you want is a fine puff of dust. use it around the legs of the bed and around base boards and dressers and chest of drawers. This works very well. I friend that works for a pest control company told me about this and It is the only thing I have tried that worked and this keeps on killing where liquid only kills on contact then evaporates. this also kills many other bugs as well. hopes this helps. remember just a fine puff of dust is all you want. Not a stream of white powder.

May we ask what detergent you used? It sounds like the dye from a colored detergent was absorbed. We will gladly replace the pillowcase. Please email us at customerservice@fishersfinery.com

Only had to do that once in 10 months...remove mattress pad underneath. While i change sheets every week to keep them clean since babys face is on it and drools on it too. Definitely do save time and eorth the money

wash it out with bleach and use Nok-out. You may have to do it a few times. I sprayed i down good and left it overnight then did it again and again until the smell was pretty well gone
