Good News for Parents
Unlike other pests, head lice are NOT an environmental problem. That means cleaning your home and belongings is simple and minimal after treatment.
The Facts
Head lice need a human host to survive. Without one, they dehydrate and die quickly.
90% of lice spread happens through direct head-to-head contact, not from the environment.
Once lice are combed out using our proven Wet-Combing Method, the adult lice are gone. Only nits (eggs) remain, which are firmly stuck to the hair shaft and cannot spread to others.
What To Do in Your Home
On the evening of your first comb-out, do a quick clean. After that, no major cleaning is needed.
1. Put pillowcases and sheets in the dryer for 30 minutes (or wash and dry as usual).
2. If bedding can’t be washed, place it in the dryer for 30 minutes or set it aside for 48 hours.
3. For fabric headrests, car seats, or sofas — vacuum lightly or cover for 48 hours.
What To Do with Belongings
1. Recently worn hats, helmets, or hoodies → set aside for 48 hours.
2. Stuffies that can’t be spared → toss in the dryer for 30 minutes.
3. Brushes and hair accessories → set aside for 48 hours; towels can be washed as normal.
✨ No need to freeze, bag, or deep-clean your home! Anything that can’t go in the dryer for 30 minutes can simply be set aside for 48 hours.
