Did the fleas die?
Okay here's the situation. Went on vacation two weeks ago. Left my doggie at a kennel, where they gave her a bath on her last day there. I brought her home, she was nice and fluffy. Today I gave her another bath, and noticed she was COVERED in fleas. Totally my fault for not keeping up with her flea medications while sending her to a kennel.
Anyway I freaked out and washed everything she's been in contact with: i.e., her bedding, dog pillow, the towels I used to dry her off, etc. I washed them TWICE, in hot water with detergent and bleach. What I want to know is do you think they died in the washer? Are they hardy enough to infest any of my towels or clothes that I wash afterward? I know, stupid question, but oh well.
P.S. I vacuumed the entire house and applied her flea meds immediately after her bath; I'm specifically wondering about the washing machine.
