Can these be washed in hot water to kill dust mites?

I imagine it matters which color you buy... i habe the tan sheets and wash them as instructed. My recommendation is wash as instructed and dry on high. This will work the same way without potentially damaging you're sheets and their color

The tag instructs to wash in warm, air dry. I've washed in warm and used the dryer. I think you can wash these hot and they'll hold up well. The cotton is thick and strong. I hope that helps!

Yes, I have washed these sheets in hot water for years. I also dry them in a hot dryer. They come out clean and unwrinkled.

I use in typical hot dish washing water with no problem. I find they are exceeding my expectations. I hand wash them inside out and let dry.

I've cleaned mine in the dishwasher every time. Hot water won't hurt them at all, just don't use the heat cycle

sure - but if you're washing, hot water and bleach will do better than permethrin at killing bugs and mites; so this would be double duty.

In other words, the included cover is worthless and you need to use your own pillow cover. A damp cloth and mild detergent isn't going to kill dust mites.

No. You can clean them with a damp cloth of soapy water or bleach/water or vinegar/water. They are super thin; we'll never buy them again.

Sorry, but I haven't tried. I always wash them by hand, which I feel is far better when dealing with smaller items. Based on the apparent quality, it should be OK, but this is speculation.

i wash in very hot water with bleach. They come out relatively clean, not as white as new, but most of the dirt is gone

I wash them in soapy water and rinse them thoroughly. Since I use them to apply flea control onto animals my solution wears the numbers off after a few uses so I must dispose of them.

I would soak them to be sure. Rinse afterwards & let dry.......... Works well & won't come back !

I've only hand washed the oven mitts but I'm sure you could throw them in the washer!

These should not be washed in a machine. Spot clean only. I have a handheld steam cleaner that I wash mine with and it works great.

According to on line information that would be no they cannot...I hand washed mine with soft soap. It took awhile to dry, but it came out very well...

No. There are only certain products made that specifically say will reduce dust mites, allergens etc. You have to look for pillows and pillow covers that say this. However, if you put your pillows on high heat in dryer you can reduce and possibly kill certain allergens. If you think you have a big problem with dust mites or anything else that is a problem it's probably best to replace pillows and mattress if older than 8 years.

I would recommend microwaving them, but I personally put them in hot water and it works great.

I wash them in the machine, under "sterilization." It works well. I do NOT dry them. I let them air-dry.

I've washed them a few times. The fabric becomes softer but still seems to work for dust mite protection.
