🦠 Scabies cases are rising in the Balearic Islands, and many families and businesses are seeking effective solutions to combat it. We know this condition can be annoying and persistent, but a good strategy of order and cleaning can make all the difference in its complete elimination.
At Ordenamigas, we want to help you organize the disinfection process effectively, preventing reinfestation and facilitating a faster recovery for your family or work team.
Why is order key in eliminating scabies?
Scabies is caused by a mite that survives on fabrics, furniture, and personal items. A cluttered space makes eradication difficult since mites can remain in bedding, sofas, or even office upholstery.
The key? An organized cleaning protocol in phases that eliminates mites effectively without becoming chaotic.
STEPS FOR ORGANIZED AND EFFECTIVE CLEANING
🏠 At home: wash and disinfect by homogeneous groups
To prevent mites from spreading, organize clothes and textiles into categories and wash them separately:
✔ Bedding and pajamas → Wash at 60°C and dry in a hot dryer or under the sun.
✔ Daily and school clothes → Wash at the same temperature and store in sealed bags until use.
✔ Towels and bath textiles → Replace daily and wash at 60°C.
✔ Upholstery and sofas → Vacuum with a HEPA filter and apply hot steam.
✔ Stuffed toys and cushions → Place in bags and freeze for 48 hours if they can’t be washed at high temperature.
📦 Extra tip: Keep clean clothes in airtight bags until the infestation has completely disappeared.
🏢 At the office: preventing spread is essential
Scabies can also affect workspaces, especially shared offices, locker rooms, or areas with sofas and carpets. To prevent contagion:
✔ Avoid sharing scarves, coats, or headphones.
✔ Disinfect keyboards, chairs, and desks with specific products.
✔ Wash work clothes frequently.
✔ Ventilate offices daily to reduce humidity.
If any employee is affected, it’s crucial to take preventive measures to stop the spread at work.
How to ensure scabies disappears completely?
✔ Keep order at home and office to make cleaning effective.
✔ Use gloves when handling infested clothes and put them directly in the washing machine.
✔ Vacuum mattresses, sofas, and carpets daily.
✔ Use prescribed medical treatments and follow your specialist’s instructions.
