Floors, carpets & rugs

Vacuum all carpets, rugs and floor edges thoroughly the day before treatment
Empty the vacuum into a sealed bag and put it in the outside bin
Clear floors completely — no toys, shoes, baskets, bags or pet beds left on the floor
Lift rugs slightly at the corners and leave them in place so heat can reach underneath
Move furniture an inch or two away from skirting boards if possible (larvae hide along edges)

Textiles & wardrobes

Hang as much wool, cashmere and natural-fibre clothing on rails in the largest room
Leave space between garments so heat can circulate around sleeves, collars and folds
Open wardrobes, drawers and ottomans slightly so warm air can flow inside
Do not seal clothing in plastic bags — fabrics need to be exposed to the heat
Bring out any stored wool blankets, throws or rugs that may be infested

Remove from the property

Pressurised aerosol cans (deodorants, hairspray, cleaning sprays)
Wax candles and wax-based products
Oil paintings and delicate artwork
Live houseplants and fresh-cut flowers
Perishable food, chocolate, soft cheese and temperature-sensitive items
Pets — cats, dogs, rabbits, fish, reptiles and birds out for the day
Makeup, medicines and toiletries that may melt
Valuable or delicate items you are concerned about

Access & the day before

Arrange parking close to the front door for our equipment
Hand over a key or arrange for someone to meet us
Let neighbours know if you live in a flat or apartment block
Block out 4–6 hours for the treatment and cool-down
Plan to be out of the treated rooms during the heat cycle
