Expose Hiding Areas

• The first thing you have to do to eliminate bed bugs is to find out where they are hiding. Once you find the places they live, you can begin destroying their homes and killing the bugs you can find. Complete a thorough inspection of your home to find all the places where the bugs dwell.
  
  

Wash Clothing and Linens

• All clothes, linens and bed sheets that could possibly be infected have to be washed to kill off the infestation. Use really hot water, above 113 degrees Fahrenheit, when washing clothes. Bed bugs will immediately die in heat this extreme. Once your clothes and linens are washed, make sure to keep them in a clean and safe area. You don't want them to get infested again.
  
  

Vaccuum Rooms

• Once all your clothes and linens are out of the room and cleaned, use a vacuum to clean all the other stuff. Run your vacuum across toys, computers and anywhere else bed bugs may have infested your house. You should then place the items in plastic bags and store them in a room that isn't infested. Once you remove non-linen items from the room, you can work on bigger items.
  
  

Steam Clean

• Use an electric steamer to clean the entire room. Make sure to hit all the cracks and crevices of the room and use hard brushes to scrub away any remnants of bugs and even the eggs. You can also use rubbing alcohol to kill bed bugs on contact when washing the room. Make sure to thoroughly steam your mattress and anywhere else bed bugs are likely to be.
  
  

Keep Things Clean

• Make sure all the work you did cleaning wasn't for nothing. Don't let infested articles of clothing or linen come into contact with your just-disinfected items.
