How to Clean Furniture With Scabies

By Home & Garden Last updated Wednesday, May/29/2024

1). Vacuum all of your furniture to remove dirt, dust, scabies mites and their eggs. Do not simply dust or wipe the furniture, as this could just move the eggs or mites to the ground.
2). Remove the dust bag or dust canister and filter from your vacuum cleaner. Immediately dispose of any dust or dust bags outside to prevent recontamination. Replace disposable filters or wash washable filters using warm water and liquid dish soap. Repeat this process daily on wooden or uncovered furniture.
3). Place the your couch, love-seat, recliner or any other furniture with cushioning or upholstery in a sealable plastic cover for one week. While it may not be aesthetically pleasing, it will contain the mites, cut off their food source and prevent them from further infesting your home. Remove the covers after one week.
4). Vacuum the furniture that was covered after the covers are removed. This will remove the dead mites.
