Will dry heat harm wool clothing? Following a bedbug infestation, I would like to use the dryer to be sure bugs and eggs are dead, but I do not want to harm the clothes.
I'd look on the internet for suggestions/solutions, AND I'd call a GOOD dry cleaner about it because it's wool and they should KNOW all about it. Sorry your're having this problem. I'd NEVER place anything infested with bugs/eggs in MY dryer, or I'd risk FURTHER infestation in other things should they not die. They are likely in your mattresses, upholstered furniture or linens, MORE than in the clothing. Make certain those things are VACUUMED well, sprayed with an organic repellent, then spray only your drawers/closet floors, unless you know for certain they are in your clothes, too. Good luck and God help you.
I'm not sure what you mean by 'dry heat'. I do know that you can't put wool sweaters in the dryer, they'll shrink up to the size of a small dog. Best of lucky with your problem.
