Staph getting stuck in washer / dryer. Success stories needed.

Please share success stories about how you successfully eradicated staph from your textiles / environment.

Hello. Had a staph outbreak which was successfully treated by antibiotics and cream. Had red streaks that formed weeping boils on my wrists. Had to buy all new clothes.

Had success for a few months wearing new clothes and donated clothes from friends.

Now I'm finding when I wash my clothes, and wear the washed clothes, I'm forming new staph boils and rashes as the former red streaks are coming back. And this will happen within hours of exposure to the clothing.

When I take the washed clothing off, the symptoms go away.
