That's up to you.: It may be a great opportunity for intensive "spring cleaning". Once bed bugs infest they are very hard to get rid of. Declutter entire room. Place all junk in tightly sealed plastic & dispose of it. Wash clothing, linens, towels in hot water. Dry on highest heat - then repeat. Place clean items in a sealed bag to prevent re-infestation.Steam clean what you can't place in drier. Vacuum >>>>>.
