## **Valpas room inspection checklist**

Use this guide when investigating a guest concern or during a scheduled room inspection.

* [ ] **Check all Valpas smart and basic bed legs** for signs of bed bugs.
* [ ] **Inspect sheets and bedding** for small blood spots or dark stains. Ensure the bedding hasn’t been changed before inspection.
* [ ] **Remove the sheet and mattress pad**, then examine all corners of the mattress and box spring.
* [ ] **Inspect the edging, seams, and labels** on the mattress and box spring.
* [ ] **Use a flashlight** to check between the headboard and wall. Inspect the entire headboard from top to bottom.
* [ ] **Flip over the box spring.** Remove any dust covers and inspect the bed frame and interior. Bed bugs often hide in joints and corners.
* [ ] **Inspect nearby furniture** including seams, cracks, crevices, joints, and screw holes. Flip furniture to check underneath.
* [ ] **Empty drawers and nightstands.** Examine inside, outside, and underneath the furniture.
* [ ] **Check the perimeter of the room.** Look along baseboards and edges of carpets. Lift the carpet where possible.
* [ ] **Inspect resting areas** like couches, recliners, and lounge chairs—especially seams and folds.
* [ ] **Check luggage racks** thoroughly, including joints and support straps.
* [ ] **Look behind picture frames** and wall-mounted decor.
* [ ] **Inspect lamps and electrical devices.** Look around sockets and switch plates.
* [ ] **Examine ceiling corners** and seams in wallpaper.
* [ ] **Inspect around door and window frames.**
* [ ] **Check curtains and drapes**, especially folds and pleats.
* [ ] **Inspect power sockets** and surrounding areas.
