A clothes dryer needs to reach temperatures of at least 140°F (60°C) to effectively kill most bacteria and pathogens. However, for optimal disinfection, maintaining higher temperatures, around 160°F (71°C), for a sustained period can be more effective. It's important to ensure that the items being dried can withstand these temperatures without damage. Regularly cleaning the dryer and using appropriate cycles can also help reduce bacterial load.
