This post mentions a product — Green Clean Dissolvable Laundry Bags — currently only available to the public via one supplier (Cooper Pest’s Bed Bug Central, which will be obvious from the URL included in the video).

I have not actually tried this product, though it does look like fun! Apparently, you seal your bed bug-infested laundry inside, throw the whole thing in the washing machine, and the bag dissolves while the items wash.

I stress that this post is not a review or an advertisement. I am posting this because I think it is good for everyone to know that this technology is available. It has actually been available, apparently, for 30 years, and has been used by hospitals and nursing homes for a long time. Applying it to the bed bug problem seems like a good move.

(note: I usually embed YouTube videos, but this one did not work for some reason.)

Update 4/18:

Here’s a second video which shows the bags being used in the machine itself.
