Another option is to put Canesten Hygiene Laundry Rinse (Antibacterial and antifungal). You put in your washing machine where you may otherwise put fabric conditioner. It is suitable to use in cold water – in top or front loading washing machines. It is liquid and dissolves in cold water. I don’t know how many different ones there are but one is labelled lemon. A friend of mine used it when her husband caught a contageous skin disease. With stringent hygiene and washing all towels, sheets and his clothing separately and adding the Canesten, none of the rest of them family got infected at all. We suspect he may have in contact with it at his workplace.
