Taking the Bite Out of Beds; Laundry Service Angelica Discusses Bed Bugs in Hotels

    NORCROSS, GA, September 14, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- When guests arrive at their hotels, the very last thing they want to be concerned with is bed bugs. In recent years, many hotels have seen a rise in bed bugs infestations, due to the frequency of business and pleasure travelers.

"Bed bugs are most definitely a gift you do not want to bring home," stated Aly Merritt, Marketing Manager for Angelica Corporation, a medical linen service provider. "Vacations and business trips should not include an unwelcome guests like bed bugs. They can be a miserable infestation to exterminate, not to mention the pain of their bites."

Angelica suggests that hotels start using medical linen service providers as a means of protecting their linens from the remnants of bed bugs, as well as any bacteria and viruses they may be carrying.

Any hotel suffering from a bed bug infestation should be treated with a professional exterminator to ensure that all pests are eliminated, urges Angelica Corporation, a medical linen service provider. From there, all linens should be medically and chemically treated to remove any trace of the pests.

Since bed bugs can be quite a nuisance and can be carriers for such infections like Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), hotels should take care to effectively treat both the hotel room and the linens to ensure that all materials that were once infested are now sterile. For linens, one of the best, most cost-effective ways to ensure solid sanitation is using a medical linen service provider.

In the long run, hotels may see that utilizing a hospital linen service can save them money too, by keeping bugs and bacteria at bay. A healthy hotel means a profitable hotel.
