6. Do You Really Have to Wash Everything in Your House?

You’ve treated the lice, everyone’s clean… and now you’re staring at your couch, your child’s bed, and a mountain of laundry wondering — do I really have to wash everything? 🧺

In this episode, Emily Carter tackles one of the most common post-treatment questions parents have — how much cleaning is really necessary after lice?
Joined once again by Dr. Marcus Lee, a medical entomologist, they explain what science says about how long lice survive off the scalp, what needs cleaning (and what doesn’t), and why you don’t need to turn your home upside down.

You’ll also learn how to handle the “what ifs” — including when doing a full deep clean can give peace of mind, even if it’s not required.

💡 What you’ll learn:

• How long lice actually survive away from the head.

• What items should be washed or dried.

• Why most cleaning routines go way beyond what’s needed.

• A simple, science-based checklist to follow after treatment.

✨ Because the more you understand lice, the less power they have to stress you out.
