“Oh, OOmis, one more thing… I am sure that your mattresses were wonderful, but people need to know to be very careful before taking used mattresses. If bedbugs are around, they could be in big trouble. To be on the safe side, everybody should start with new mattresses. “
Your advice is a well-taken comment. Although you are also right, my mattresses were fine, never had a problem with bugs of any kind, but I also cleaned them thoroughly, washed and vacuumed, and sprayed them with Lysol. I told the people who took the trundle that if they had any qualms about taking the mattresses, they should leave them outside for bulk garbage. But they saw the mattresses were in excellent shape. generally speaking, people DO need to be careful about used mattresses. Some people cannot afford new mattresses, and the new ones are sometimes more expensive than the beds.
