I'm trying to do this. After lots of research I'm coming to the conclusion that nobody's researched it. I found one (US) source that said to wash in hot water and add a bit of bleach to 'ensure the fleas are killed'. My problem is that I have a lot of nice clothes that can't be washed in hot water or have bleach used on them because they are too delicate. So, currently, I'm washing everything in my normal cool wash with soap powder and hoping that this will do the trick. Given that you kill lice/greenfly by adding soap to water, then dousing them and this penetrates the insects normal coat and drowing them - you have to add the soap or the water does not penetrate the insect's exoskeleton. Anyway, this is ongoing because i have a large house and family, 2 small dogs and 2 small ferretts and a very big flea infestation (from the ferrets). I will keep you updated as to whether the washing this way works or not.
