I suggest that you hire a service to come in and clean after the apartment is tented – you cleaning it thoroughly will result in you and your unborn child being thoroughly exposed to the residue.
Look into getting a mattress bag for your bed. It can incase it to reduce allergens and bedbugs.
Remove all your linens – and get your comforters cleaned while you are out of the apt.
