Travel is a huge part of my family’s life. It’s something we love to do, especially with our girls. We are on the road quite a bit and it’s important to me to stay germ-free and more of a concern lately – free of bedbugs too!
We recently had the opportunity to try out luggage made by ThermalStrike and I was pretty impressed!
Made with integrated infrared heating technology, you just plug the suitcase in and it automatically brings the temperature inside of the suitcase up to 140˚F. At that temperature, any unwelcome bedbugs are killed and your belongings are safe.
It sounds high tech and it totally is, but from my standpoint – all I did was take the cord out of the suitcase, plug it in and let it do it’s thing! In just a short two and a half hours, it had reached the maximum temperature and shuts itself off.
The suitcase comes in two sizes – a 20″ carry-on and 24″ upright. I especially like the rotational wheels making it very easy to steer and it’s a surprising lightweight suitcase too!
It’s Giveaway Time!
