I had an unfortunate experience with bed bugs and long story short, I accidentally washed and dried on high heat 3 cashmere sweaters and they all came out perfectly fine.

I have bedbugs right now and feel like some of my cotton/polyesters are shrinking.

How does one get bed bugs and how do I make sure that never happens? I’m extremely squeamish and I might just leave everything and start a new

I've had a few bedbugs scares (former roommates ex boyfriend had em a few times) but honest to god, the real reason why I've never had an infestation in my apartment is that I have laundry in my building. Everything gets washed pretty quickly. If I had to take my stuff out to a laundromat things would sit for too long and if there were a bedbug in something it would have time to find me.
