Hi, I was wondering how folks feel about bean bag chairs....I can take the outer matarial off and wash it yet again but should I be concerned that the inner part has eggs. Should I just chuck it.....and what about hampers. I have an expensive wood hamper in my kids bathroom and a very nice wicker one in my bathroom. Should I throw those out also....boo hoo....my house is certainly becoming less and less cluttered....

There was another thread just about wicker
http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/wicker-furniture#post-37463
and it was deemed practically impossible.
The wicker manufacturers had better start funding pesticide research.

I can't comment on bean bag chairs because I have had no experience.

Re: the Wooden hamper - if I were you, I would decontaminate it (steam, wash, etc.) and when you are sure it is okay, use it temporarily for something else - maybe it would like to be an end table for a change. Then use a cheaper white plastic hamper for a while that will be easier to check and clean.

Hope this helps - sure is easier to give advice than to take it. I'm not even using a hamper right now. Just plastic bags, and more plastic bags.

Another temporary hamper possibility if you don't want to just keep your dirty clothes in a plastic bag (which is what I do as well) would be one of those canvas ones. You could just throw that in the washer and dryer along with the clothes.

I don't know about the bean bag chair either. What's the interior encasement that holds the "beans" in made of . . . is there anyplace that looks like the bed bugs could get in (holes, stitches that are loose, a zipper that might not be entirely closed?

Yes, I too am only using plastic bags as I'm still in the middle of treatments. It is breaking my heart to throw away my beautiful wicker baskets that I use for extra towels and laundry.....and the wooden hamper in the kids bathroom kept everything so neat....I'm losing my mind. sorry to whine, I'm just feeling awful about throwing all this stuff out.....
