Head Lice Treatment: It’s About More Than Just the Hair!
If you’ve been utilizing head lice treatment products for some time now, beyond several days or weeks, you’ve most likely tried just about every spray, shampoo, and home treatment out there for your child’s hair. It’s, sadly, not enough to just utilize head lice treatment products alone. As soon as head lice are brought into the family, they can get into bedding, carpets, draperies, furniture, stuffed animals and many other fabric surfaces. In addition to using head lice treatment products and lice removal techniques, it is vital to make sure those surfaces are washed or cleaned before you can ultimately say good bye to the Lice!
The child’s bedding will have to be washed even as using head lice treatment products and until treatment is no longer needed and no lice are present. A thorough washing in very hot water and followed by drying in high heat for a minimum of 20 minutes will be enough to ensure any lingering lice in the linen are killed. Draperies and other fabric items that can be washed should also be treated in the same way.But, what can be done about those materials that you simply cannot throw in the washing machine?
Larger materials that can’t be thrown in the washing machine should be placed in a big, plastic sealed bag. If you have a large enough chest freezer, placing the bag within will then freeze the lice to death. If you don’t have enough room, you can simply leave the bag sealed for at least 2 weeks. When you remove the items from the bag, place them in the dryer with a fabric softener sheet to make sure all of the lice are killed. You can also do this when you first start head lice treatment, so when you’re complete, everything is ready to go!
As you are using head lice treatment products, it’s also critical to thoroughly wash anything that comes into contact with your child’s hair. Wash all hats, fabric hair bands, and hoods regularly. Also, ensure that any plastic head bands, hair accessories, combs and brushes are always soaked in alcohol for at least an hour. This will kill the lice, so that they won’t linger on the item and jump back into your child’s hair.
Don’t set yourself up for more bad news after finding out that your child has head lice. By sticking to a plan and seeing it through, to the fullest, you will avoid having to go through a lice infestation, and it’s necessary remedies and removal procedures, all over again.
