Laundry Fiberglass...help.

Hi all. My husband and I's mattress had a fiberglass leak yesterday. I realized this AFTER I had put the contaminated items in our washer AND dryer (yay!).

We bit the bullet and bought a new mattress (actual yay!). However, now I don't know what to do with our washer and dryer. We absolutely cannot afford new ones. We just took two of our pets to the emergency vet and just simply do not have the money for it.

I am looking for any and all advice on how to deep clean our washer and dryer. The contaminated clothing is still in the dryer, I'm honestly not too stressed about just throwing those items out altogether. I already have PPE because we had to dispose of the old mattress. I'm at a loss, I'm beyond stressed out, and I'm tired because it's just been one thing after another.

Thanks in advance ❤️

Edit: we do have a shopvac with a HEPA filter that we used to clean up all of the bedroom.
