    XL Ziplocs & mattress protection cover

    Where can I find these in HK? Using them for packing (moving flats due to book lice pests, need to clean & quarantine everything as I pack, to prevent a re-infestation)

    How do I protect/pack my mattress from dirt/water/damage before moving?

    I remember seeing some larger-than-usual Ziplocs in CitySuper some time back. Can't recall the actual size though.

    Vacuum storage bags are available all over the place. I assume if air can't get out bugs can't get in.

    Some of the storage places have mattress protectors, e.g. http://www.hongkongselfstorage.com/p...l#Anchor-39307

    Thanks Clare. I prefer the Ziplocs because they are alot cheaper and easier to open & reseal.

    AM has zip locks last I checked.

    I think...think...that Pricerite may have mattress bags. Can really remember. Though I saw them there. You might also try Japan Home. If those don't work, maybe call some movers like Santa Fe or Tiger and see if they sell them.
