I had to toss all of my hardbacks after I found spotting from their feces and the rock-hard, epoxy-like eggs in the spine). But, what's an extra 30-45 minutes for more peace of mind, eh? I wouldn't use a freezer because.. well.. i keep food in there. Ew. yeah, I know, plastic, etc, but freaking.. ew.
Did any of your clothes shrink when you tossed them dry into the dryer on max heat?? Especially wool items?

Don't put wool items in the dryer. They will shrink like crazy.

Even when totally dry? If moisture and heat cause shrinking, how come a garment steamer can be used on wool without shrinking it at all? EDIT: Ok, apparently steaming a wool garment will shrink it too. So all your wool items are screwed if you get bed bugs?
