A handful of times, I've had problems noticing bugs (such as fleas) in clothes bought from secondhand stores like Goodwill (even after washing - a normal washing machine doesn't kill everything). It usually happens when I purchase soft fabric items such as sweaters, scarves, and blankets. I don't want to bring fleas, bedbugs, etc. home. Is there a way to completely sanitize secondhand fabric items?
We stay away from buying used fabric furniture items (e.g. couches) for the same reason, so if you have any tips for furniture, that would also be helpful. Thank you.
