you're so dirty

i didnt believe in bed bugs until i decided it was ok to take my friends old mattress and recycle it as my own. i dont think my friend was dirty, but i think his living room was, and that is where his mattress was parked until i could pick it up.
then it began.
i am a closet lysol-aholic (or generic-brand-disinfectant-spray-aholic).
when no one is around, usually in the middle of the night, i spray the doorknobs on my front door and bathroom (both sides, of course), the garbage can (inside and any part i touch), and every lightswitch panel. handles and near the stove i wipe down with wipes or cleaner, because spraying stuff near flames is scary.
anyway, of course i sprayed my old/new mattress numerous times, and used a mattress cover, which i also sprayed, but after 2 cycles of washing sheets and spraying both sides of the mattress, i decided it was time to just buy a new, clean mattress.
follow suit, new york! buy new furniture!
