Bedbug alert at the laundromat! — Brooklynian

Bedbug alert at the laundromat!

Found bedbugs in my laundry after dropping it off at the laundromat on Franklin between St. John/Lincoln. Awful! I sealed it all up right away and re-washed/dried it all in super high heat, but wanted to put the word out - check your laundry! Your clean laundry could be sitting on a shelf next to someone's unlaundered, infested laundry.

  • My roomates brought bedbugs in. They were nice enough to tell me. It was really scary.

    Anyway, it would be best to re-wash all your clothes you laundered there recently in hot water and dry them in high heat dryer.

    Glad you put this warning out - prevention is the key!

  • Hmmm. THis has been my laundry location for about 7 years. In fact, I was planning on doing laundry tonight.

    Wondering if I have less to fear as I do it myself (no drop-off).

  • Do not fold your clothes in the laundromat either. It's another way to pick up bed bugs. I know it's a pain and you end up with a sack of wrinkled clothes when you get home, but it's better than the other potential options.

  • About to go a few loads of laundry... guess I walk my lazy butt down to the one by Park and Franklin instead.
