Safety When Buying Used Blankets From Thrift Stores?
We moved to the East Coast from San Diego (first winter here), and to keep heating costs down, want to purchase more blankets for the family. However, due to many circumstances, price is a factor and so we plan to head to the thrift stores. My only worry is head lice or fleas (anything else to be scared of?) lingering on the used blankets. So 2 questions:
1. How to look for “safe” blankets, as in are there warning signs of fleas or lice to watch for? Or anything else of concern?
2. Before using these items how do I treat them for these possible ailments once I get them home?
Thank you!!
Check the blankets look clean and in good condition ,dont buy anything that is stained or tatty.Bugs like to hide in hems so make sure you check the hems for anything suspicious.
Wash in hot water and detergent with even a capful of disinfectant and dry in a hot dryer ,bugs can not survive in very hot temperatures.
Another tip if you can not wash immediately ,place item in a sealed bag and pop it in the freezer for at least a week.The freezing temps will also kill any bugs and then you can wash it and dry it when you are ready.
