I honestly don't think it's necessary to disinfect or bleach the fabric in any way. If you wash it normally and then either dry it in a dryer or hang it outside in the sun, that should be enough. The bleach and disinfectants are used when cleaning surfaces. See the website below.

It's *very* important to wear a mask because of the airborne virus, and also to wear rubber gloves. Try not to stir up any "dust" while cleaning.

Here is the website I found:

And here is the excerpt specifically related to cleaning clothing and sheets:
"Take bedding or clothing outside and either gently roll the droppings off or pick them off with rubber gloves -- do not shake them off! Then wash the bedding or clothing as regular laundry and dry them in a dryer or hang them outside in bright sunlight. Clothes worn while cleaning mouse infestation can be handled in the same manner.
