Remove all items from your luggage bags when storing them.
Vacuum your luggage: inside, outside and in every compartment. Detailed vacuuming removes most, if not all, cockroaches.
Mix ammonia and water in a plastic container.
Clean any plastic surfaces on your luggage using the ammonia and water mix.
Store luggage in large, sealed plastic bags or airtight containers.
Unpack all travel items, so that your luggage bags are completely empty.
Vacuum every part of your luggage: inside, outside and in all compartments. If you stay at a hotel without vacuum cleaners, use the vacuum from a nearby carwash or gas station.
Shake and vacuum all clean clothes before packing. If you can, wash and dry all clothes and pack directly into the suitcase from the drier.
Seal, in plastic bags: all dirty clothes, shoes, leather items (including belts and jewelry), fur, suede and other organic material. Double bag any dirty shoes or clothes.
Shake and vacuum clothes and luggage again when you get home, if you are certain that cockroaches infested your luggage while traveling.
