I've read on a lot of different websites, some official medical ones, others not, and they all say anywhere from 1 day to 4 days. It's best to wash all your clothes that you've worn in the past week in HOT, soapy water and then put in the dryer on HIGH heat until dry. Then your clothes should be alright. Do the same with your bedding. Make sure you're wearing clean clothing if you do have scabies and have already done the treatment.
