How Hot Does The Air In A Clothes Dryer Get?
How high is the temperature in a clothes dryer on average?? I did a search but came up with nothing helpful. My son has lice and I was curious as to whether the temperature gets hot enough to kill the nasty buggers or if I really have to wash all the clothes and bedding in hot water. I read somewhere that it has to maintain a temp of at least 130 farenheit for 20 minutes to kill them. Are dryers hotter than that?
Actually if you can, the best way to kill them is to bag the clothes and bedding in a garbage bag and stick them in the freezer for 3 days. Then when you remove them, shake them outside then immediately throw them in the washer.
