The good news is you don’t need to buy new everything! Head lice can only live for a short period of time without a host, 24-48 hours in most cases. Most household surfaces and items can be cleaned, including your vehicle. While it is important to take steps to clean after an infestation, drastic measures are not needed. A good deep cleaning is the best bet to get things back in order. You can find our suggestions for cleaning your home and personal belongings here!

How to Clean Your Car:

Cleaning your vehicle after head lice can seem a like a big task, but it doesn't have to be. Car seats and booster seats are the number one item to take care of, as they are the most likely to come in direct contact with hair. While it certainty isn't fun it is recommended to take them apart and launder any cloth pieces. Vacuum the rest of the car seat thoroughly and wipe it down with disinfecting wipes or spray. As for the car’s interior, cloth seats can be vacuumed. Be sure to get into any cracks or tight spots in the cars seats and interior. Leather seats are easy as lice tend not to stick to these surfaces, but it is best to still wipe them down with disinfectant. Use a lint roller or sticky tape to reach places the vacuum cannot. Remember lice can only live for 24-48 hours without a human host so while it is important to clean after lice it is also important not to over stress.
