Hi Ken,
Thanks for the reply, and to all who answered this thread with good
info.
I have been soaking my bedding in hypochlorous acid for 4 hrs, then
heating in a microwave for 30 minutes while turning them over every
ten minutes. This makes them hot enough to generate steam, but it's
important to put them in a sealed plastic container - otherwise they
will develop hot spots and catch fire.
I got the idea of using hypochlorous acid from the EPA:

and from an agricultural article:

This seems to work for most spores, but leaves several types
unharmed. I tried different dilutions with little effect except to
burn holes in the cloth:) I'm pretty sure that Vellux blankets would
not survive this treatment.
Best Wishes,
Mike Monett
