How do I clean bedding, towels and clothes after scabies?

Wash bedding, towels and clothes used in the three days before treatment in hot water (60 °C or higher) and dry them on a hot cycle or in the sun. Seal anything you cannot wash in a plastic bag for at least three days.

  • Do the laundry the morning after treatment, once everyone has washed the lotion off.
  • Put on clean clothes and use clean bedding after treatment.
  • Vacuum mattresses, couches and carpets.
  • Items that cannot be washed, such as soft toys or shoes, can be sealed in a plastic bag for at least three days.
