Bed Bugs Alert! Go Steamer Iron!
As Paris has been swarmed by bedbugs for months, infestation crisis has also erupted across UK cities like London, Manchester, and Liverpool. Recently, outbreaks of bedbugs have been reported across Korea's capital Seoul and the cities of Incheon and Daegu. Jitter increased and local authorities had to allocate a budget of 500 million won to citywide efforts to prevent the spreading of the pesky blood-sucking insects. Yesterday, a photo of a suspected bedbug on Hong Kong's Airport Express train went viral online, sparking public concerns.
Nasty Hitchhikers
Bedbugs, as tiny as apple seeds, often cling onto clothes and bags of commuters insidiously, and they love to hitch a ride on hidden spots of luggages such as zippers and wheels. They then find a way smuggling into households and hotel rooms, transferring to places like holes in walls, behind wallpapers, wardrobes, beddings, sofas, furnitures, uphosltery, and clutters, gaining foothold everywhere.
Bedbugs are not only an unwelcome souvenir brought home by travellers. The infestation nightmare can be the consequence of buying furnitures or carpets of shoddy quality, or even keeping cardboard boxes or shoeboxes from online shopping at home for a few days before discarding them. If the new home pieces or packagings are, unfortunately, bug- or egg-infested, the headache of domestic bedbug invasion is inevitable.
Special Weapon to End Panic
Want to visit the UK, France, or Korea, but swayed by the perils of the nasty hitchhikers? Battling against the critters at home, needing to disinfect loads of clothes every day? German Pool presents the handy anti-bug gadget Handheld Garment Steamer IRH-211: Eradicating parasites in one go, safeguarding your sleep at night.
Bedbugs have poor heat tolerance. When treated with high temperature of 80-100°C, they get killed instantly. When exposed to environments of 49°C high heat, adult bedbugs die after a period of time; 52°C can destroy eggs over time; and 60°C is sufficient to terminate bedbugs of all life stages within 30 minutes.
Steam Treatment:
Safe & Reliable
The soleplate of Handheld Garment Steamer IRH-211 heats up to a blazing 110-170°C. The high temperature and high pressure 100°C jet steam emitted can target the weakness of bedbugs, penetrating hard-to-reach spots and crevices to eliminate bugs and eggs, leaving no survivors.
Using heat treatment with steam is the most natural and eco-friendly way to kill bedbugs. No chemical residue will pose health threats to your family and it is simplie, quick, and easy.
Arriving at home after a long day, first thing first—hang worn clothes on hangers and apply steam to deep clean and sanitize them, minimizing the risks of carrying the enemy home. This procedure has 3 benefits, first stopping the bedbug hazard, at the same time removing odours, mites, and germs from clothings, lastly keeping garments fresh and disinfected at all times. Perform the steaming to bags and belongings the same way with extra attention to zippers and seams, then the disinfection routine is complete within minutes.
Long-lasting & Lightweight
The water tank of Handheld Garment Steamer IRH-211 is of extra large capacity at 130 ml. When tank is fully filled with water, high pressure steam lasts for over 8.5 minutes continuously at 13g/min.
When it comes to tricky and high-risk hiding places in the bedroom such as pillow cases, zippers of duvet cover, seams of mattress, gap between bed and wall, and crevices around edges of mattress, bed frame, and headboard, all areas can be safely covered without needing water refill for the steamer in the midway.
The body of Handheld Garment Steamer IRH-211 is lightweight while its handle is ergonomically designed, offering an easy grip for flexible control without straining the wrist over extended use.
Effort-Saving Method to Win
Bedbugs are stubborn and resilient. To wipe out bedbugs at home requires combating them with their reproductive lifecycle in mind. Without weeks of sustained effort, there can be no total eradication.
Other than using pest control products like airtight mattress cover, diatomaceous earth, and boric acid laundry spray day after day, the most tiring challenge posed by DIY bedbug treatment goes to repeatedly disinfecting clothings and beddings. Handheld Garment Steamer IRH-211 saves you precious time on waiting for laundry, hanging them, and collecting them after drying.
Win this uphill battle with your loyal, durable, and weightless Handheld Garment Steamer IRH-211!
