I've read about cleaning all surfaces, bedding, clothes, and also how to use the treatment. But what order should I do everything? Like do i put the mattress cover and clean sheets on my bed before or after I use the treatment? Cause when you put the plastic cover on the bed isn't it possible for mites to get on the plastic? Is vacuuming the carpets enough?

Sorry if this sounds silly but I'm a little confused..so I want to plan everything out beforehand so that I won't make any mistakes!! I've had this for 4 months thinking it was excema as 1 doctor and a dermatologist both told me and i really want to get rid of it for good!

I was also wondering, how long do I need to keep washing/drying my bedding every day? I'm a college student living off campus and me and my roommate can't afford to jack up the electricity bill. We also run out of hot water pretty fast.

Well I would spend a full day cleaning your household and washing and drying everything and wiping everything down with bleach, then start treating during the evening hours and clean really well each day for a few weeks. You should get that dust for your environment that helps alot from not getting reinfested. You want to be always whipping things down with bleach over the course of 2 weeks to ensure your killing any stragglers that may be left. I would suggest placing your sheets in the dryer for 30minutes each night and your clothes also for 30minutes before wearing them. This is what helped me anyways, well scabies die in heat or cold temperatures. You can also deprive them of oxygen by sealing your stuff into air tight containers.
