Nobody wants pests in their homes, let alone in their beds. Unfortunately, this is the reality that many of us live in. Some of our homes are riddled with bed bugs, and the consequences are pretty clear: stained beds, rashes on the skin, and the like.

Are you dealing with bed bugs in your home? Well, you shouldn't wait around. The longer you delay tackling them, the worse the problem gets! That being said, if you've already dealt with them but now need to get rid of all the bed bug stains on your fabrics that have come into contact with the infestation, you're in the right place!

Today, we'll share with you what you can do if you find bed bug stains in your laundry:

What You'll Need

To begin with, you'll need an everyday laundry detergent. If you don't know exactly how to treat bed bug stains in your laundry, you can use a combo of baking soda and a detergent.

How to Remove

First, you'll need to spot-treat the bed bug stains. Put some detergent on a rag and apply it to the stains. Next, you'll need to mix baking soda and water. If the baking soda is not completely dissolved, you can add more water until the coating is smooth. Apply the solution to the laundry and leave the laundry for about one hour. Wash the laundry as usual.

What Else You Can Do

If you're not sure if the detergent you use at home is strong enough to eliminate the bed bug stains from your laundry, it's best to opt for DIY solutions. Mix up some bleach and water. Apply the solution to the bed bug stains and leave the laundry for about one hour. Rewash the laundry as usual.

In Case You're Short on Time

You'll need a sponge, baking soda, and water. Make a batch of baking soda water by mixing the two. Apply the solution to the laundry and leave the laundry for about 15 minutes. Wash the laundry as usual.

Now, we'll talk about what to do if you can't use a rag or sponge to wipe the stain away.

To begin with, you'll need a white vinegar solution of 50% water and 50% white vinegar. To be more effective, you can add a detergent to the solution, but that's up to you. Apply the solution to the stain and leave it for about an hour. Then, rinse it with cold water.

Conclusion

If you're dealing with a stubborn bed bug stain in your laundry, you don't have to stress it! Just follow the above steps, and you'll notice the stains fade away from your laundry!
