Dad wants me to wash everything since there were bugs in camp. Do you wash everything even the fancy Shabbos dresses that need hand wash?

Every. Single. Thing.
Why wouldn’t I wash the shabbos stuff?

I would take it on a case by case basis. If everything has that moldy camp smell then yes I probably would

Of course the luggage goes straight down to the laundry room and everything gets washed!

Yes
But I've has maybe one dress that needed handwaahing from my daughters over the years, winter and summer.
I put in mesh bags and wash on "hand wash" cycle.
If it made it through camp it will likely hold up.

I was everything, Shabbos clothes were all worn so that’s not extra for me.
If by bugs out mean bed bugs you should be dry cleaning anything that can’t be dried in the dryer. Otherwise it won’t kill the bugs.

Yes!!!!! But if she’s old enough to go to camp presumably she’s old enough to do most of it herself.

95%. It's been so hard and I've been under so much pressure doing so many different loads of laundry. Yes separate load for the shabbos delicate top. Separate for the hand wash shabbos dress. Load after load after load for days straight and saw no end in sight. Full time work during the day. At the end, I didn't get to do the last few shabbos maxi skirts. They needed to be carefully washed separately, they weren't dirty but I needed to wash them anyway. Decided those will be OK, not dirty not on skin, and will have to be done after the 9 days.
Tees and weekday skirts, robe, shabbos tops, some shabbos clothes, and all underwear and linens and towels all had had to be done before.

Yes!! My son came home late Tuesday night. The last two days have been a nonstop laundry marathon, literally. I’m relieved that it’s done now and my house is a lot less smelly

I wash everything washable even if DD says she never wore or used it. The duffle bags go straight down to the basement and I sort the laundry into loads right there.
I only have 1 child away in camp at the moment. My mother, when a bunch of us all came home from camp in the same week, used to take all the laundry to a laundromat so she could do it all at once and be done in a couple of hours rather than load after load at home for days on end.

I usually take everything out of the duffles by the door, put into garbage bag and go to straight to the laundromat so I can do all the laundry at one time and be done with it!
