I probably went overboard but treated almost everything that would fit into it for peace of mind. Leather bags and shoes....no visible damage but I think that repeated treatments would shrink them so I treated and bagged a lot of things and tried to just wear a cheaper pair of shoes for a while that would stand up to the treatments or could be discarded and a fabric type purse. Most things can be stacked on the rack but I had some mesh bags that are used for washing delicate things that are quite large and used that to hold smaller items that might fall off the racks so I could do a lot of things at once. For a month or two it was going almost constantly. A full cycle is 4 hours but use the temperature probe and some smaller loads might not take that long. Just use common sense to try to determine what will take the heat. </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/just-ordered-packtite-any-advice#post-114724 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 03:11:04 +0000 Whack them 114724@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p>Arrives Thursday will I be satisfied?
