Hello,
Scabies is caused by a moth. 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,
