The hottest wash setting possible. If they are whites, add bleach. My washer has something called a sanitized wash and that is what I used when my daughter came home from school with a nice case of lice (YUCK). Everything in the house was “sanitized.” If that doesn’t work….start putting stuff in garbage bags and start again.

Take them in garbage bags to the local laundry mat and wash in the double load capasity washer/dryer… You can launder as usual just store them properly….I would buy brand new rubbermaid garbage bins with tight fitting lids and store clothing in those until the room is cleaned out…. Hope you have a truck or minivan/suv….Or maybe take them in garbage bags..and repack them in space bags….after they are washed….Just bring a hand vacuum with you to suck out the air….

wash the clothes in hot water maybe about 2 times along with bedsheets and pillow cases

freezing kills bed bugs. they need warmth to live. Put things in the freezer, it will work, trust me
