Since mites can live for up to 3 days on objects touched by an infected person, here are the recommendations to follow to avoid reinfection Wash all clothing worn by the infected person for 4 days prior to treatment in a washer with hot water Wash bedding and towels for all household members Dry everything that has been washed in the dryer with hot air Take to the cleaner, or place in a sealed plastic bag for 3 to 5 days, any clothing or items that cannot be washed in hot water Vacuum the house and car, then discard the vacuum bag I hope I have answered your question correctly, Pierre-Luc Tremblay, pharmacist Great!
