Yes dry cleaning can kill bed bugs. From my experience, I had bed bugs all over my linens, sheets, pillow cases, even some of my clothes! I took it to get them dry cleaned because I found out that bed bugs die if you wash the infested articles in hot water at at least 120F. After you wash the infested articles you will need to take extra pre-caution to eliminate those already in the house that might be hiding in cracks and crevices, joints of bed frames, on the grooves of the head board, under your box springs, etc. etc.

I treated for bed bugs 3-4 times in 2 weeks. I repeated the process again. I used this spray called Steri-Fab and sprayed it on my mattress and on box springs. I vacuumed my mattress and box spring after I allowed it to dry. I also used dust, which is a pesticide dust, such as Delta Dust, into the cracks and crevices of my home which will prevent them from coming into my home.

Do not use dust where children play.

After I treated my mattress and box springs, I used Allerzip Protect-A-Bed mattress encasement, Protect-A-Bed box spring cover and Protect-A-Bed pillow case to prevent future bed bug infestation. These encasement, box cover, and pillow case prevents moisture from building up and traps the bed bugs causing them to die from lack of food and hiding place.
