Are you also afraid of reaching this point? And you are right because parasites are a real scourge if you take them home! This is why at Offwomen we carry out a double disinfections . So you can buy second hand without the hassle.

What we do to all our items to prevent these parasites :

Our items are disinfected twice. First, upon receipt, the clothes are treated with steam at over 150°C for 5 minutes , which will eliminate parasites and bacteria. Then, they are put in the machine with an antibacterial product to permanently eliminate parasite eggs and bacteria. The clothes are finally stored in a protected space with additional moth protection (to avoid unpleasant surprises).
