how do I keep clothes fresh?
(3 posts)-
Okay, so I've been doing the whole washing, drying on hot, then storing clothes in ziplocs. Is it recommended to do this for every piece of clothing after just one use? Before bed bugs I used to wear things like jeans, hoodies and jackets multiple times as long as they weren't dirty or smelly. Now I figured I could just dry them in order to kill any bugs that may be on them, except they aren't keeping quite so fresh. I don't know if it's the extra drying or the fact that they're stuck in ziplocs, but these clothes smell kind of stale and gross. Is there something I should put with them in the bags to keep them smelling nice, or at least acceptable, or am I stuck washing everything every single time? Thanks.

I put a dryer sheet in with mine. That seems to help. I wear my jeans and hoodies more than once too. I don't know if that is good or bad. When I get home I take them right off and put them in a bag.

Take one closet and bed bug proof it with caulk DE the floor, then put moth balls and a beg bug residual in and around the the whole closet, I did this and never had a problem with cloths,
