After a TikTok user rehabbed a couch from the curb, a bedbug expert urges caution
If you acquire a piece of second-hand furniture that has bedbugs, even a thorough cleaning and time may not be enough to fully eradicate the Cimex lectularius from your furnishings.
After a TikTok user found a used couch on a New York City curb and rehabbed it to use in her apartment, some were quick to point out one tiny issue: it might have bedbugs.
The user, yafavv.mandaa, shared footage of her and her family cleaning the couch, that it sat at her father's workplace for two weeks before she took it home.
