Do You Have To Wash Clothes After Using A Fogger

Using a fogger for home pest control requires proper cleaning of clothes and fabrics exposed to the fumes. According to data from The Sleep Council, 40% of UK households haven't replaced their mattress in 10 years - despite mattresses needing replacement every 8-10 years. This means proper cleaning after using a fogger is essential for maintaining healthy sleeping surfaces.

When using a fogger, readers should always read and follow the product label instructions carefully. Take extra caution when using aerosols or sprays around babies, children, pets and those with respiratory problems or asthma. Clothes should be washed separately on cold water settings with a mild laundry detergent; if possible hang-dry instead of machine drying on high heat.

For further cleaning, air purification and safety - open windows to increase ventilation; vacuum carpets/rugs, furniture (especially upholstery) and any other surfaces that may have been exposed to the fogger's fumes. Also pre-test spot-cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area before applying directly onto fabric/surface for cleaning.

Using any kind of chemical spray or substance comes with responsibility when it comes to clothing and fabric care afterwards; potentially replacing one's mattress altogether if needed is also advised for maintaining healthy sleep environment (which can lead to better sleep quality!).
