Is it safe to wash mouldy cloth with clothes?

Hello, I’ve got a potentially silly question and I wasn’t sure where else to ask it.

I recently cleaned mould off of the bedroom ceiling, and then threw the cloth into the washing with my other clothes, it was on a 30° wash about two hours. I just wanted to know whether I now need to re wash my clothes as obviously you have to be careful with mould.

I feel a bit silly asking, but I used to struggle with OCD in the past and my sense of what is appropriate behaviour is a bit off! Thank you :)

I would ré wash them. The mouldy clothe as well needs rewashing at 60 or higher and using biological washing powder.

30 degrees won’t kill mould.

I’m a bit of a slob but I’d rewash everything.
