I recently read an article about newly purchased fabric. Because there is an 'epidemic' infestation of bed bugs going around, it is recommended that ALL fabric be put into the dryer on hot, as soon as it is brought home, for about 20 minutes to kill all larvae or eggs that may have attached itself to the fabric when it was being shipped here in containers. Not a nice topic but better safe that sorry. It would just kill me to know my very large stash had tenants.
