Housekeeping
In addition to eliminating nits and lice from the scalp and hair, you also need to clean those items that are in contact with the infected heads of your family members. Lice could jump off for 1 or 2 days on stuffed animals, upholstery, or beds and spread to other people. Thus, make sure to wash all pillows, towels, bedding, hats, scarves, and caps, then dry them with the highest setting. For stuffed animals, you should dry the on high temperatures and seal them in plastic bags for a few weeks to ensure that all nits and lice are dead. [15]
