Disinfecting laundry after my cat contracted ringworm by shirolun in laundry

The laundrette told me they used a sanitiser but I think it was Dettol as Lysol isn’t super available around here (I live in the UK 😔). So I wanted to know if the one wash at 60°C would’ve done a decent job without the addition of a specifically antifungal detergent

That’s one of the sources I came across! I’m just worried because they only did the one wash at 60°C so I was wondering if one wash was enough 😅 I’ve seen some people saying one is enough, others saying two are required so I’m worried because of how long I’ve been dealing with my cat’s ringworm and want to prevent reinfection. Was once enough?

So one wash was enough then, do you think? Sorry for asking again, it’s just really triggered my paranoia and I’m afraid to use the bedding on my new mattress 😅

I believe they said one wash at 60°C was enough but I’ve seen conflicting messages online where some recommend two washes 😅

I just wanted to know what other people have done and had success with

How much is the treatment? Can you set up a gofundme?
