disinfect

Hello,


I am itching and I would like to disinfect my laundry and I thought that in the hospital there must be an effective way to disinfect the laundry, so I would like to ask you if you know of any product that could help me disinfect my laundry from parasites or bugs. I cannot wash some clothes at 60 degrees so I would like to know if there is an alternative solution.

Thank you very much for your help and advice

If it's something in your clothes or bedding you'd have bites, not just general itching.  Do you have bites?  You don't disinfect insects, you kill them with some form of insecticide.  While there may be temperatures both cold and hot that kill adults, it might not kill the eggs.  Hospitals disinfect for bacteria and viruses.  That's a whole other thing.  When a building becomes infested with, say, bedbugs, it usually throws everything away and then cleans and buys new stuff.  If it's not insects and it is from your bedding or clothing, it's more likely allergies.
