The CDC usually recommends a plain hot wash and dry on hot. Honestly, I have never bleached anything with v or d on it and have not gotten sick with anything from my clothes or linens. Since some germs can remain in the washer after a wash, if you want, you can run an empty load with bleach and a good rinse cycle after you are finished washing. However, bleaching everything will ruin your clothes and linens by leaving white spots. I have a lot of experience with this.
