I saw one in my hotel room on holiday and freaked out. I'm back home now - everything I took with me is bagged up in bin bags ready to be washed. Will washing everything at 60 degrees be enough? How long should I have the cycle on the tumble dryer? What about clothes that wouldn't survive this cleaning regime?

And what about things that aren't clothes or fabric - should I wipe them with white vinegar? I had "bites" which I now understand might be a reaction to them as I didn't notice any mosquitos in the room (although can't rule that out).

Or is this all OTT??
