Taking bedding with fleas on to laundrette

Can you take bedding with fleas on to the laundrette? I found 1 or 2 and have been doing all the washing and I can't cope with anymore.

Bin it?

But the flea eggs are going to be somewhere in your bed/carpet so you will have to treat that too, no point just focusing on the sheets...

Have you flea treated the house to kill resident fleas? Have you flea treated your pets?

Kill the fleas then wash as normal.

I don't think the other customers at the launderette would appreciate it much.

If you have fleas don’t bother washing just chuck

You cant throw all your belongings away for fleas!

You need some of that for carpets and soft furnishings. Lock any cats away because it's toxic to them while you're spraying it/until it dries.

I don't have a problem taking bedding to the laundrette. Put it on the hottest wash you can and nothing will survive.
