Should Clothes And Linens Be Sanitized For Long While Recovering From Scabies?

Hello! I had contracted scabies from a resident where I work. The Urgent Care physician prescribed me all the necessary meds and creams... He also told me to go ahead and apply the second Tx of cream to make sure I am rid of the scabies. I did so last night and showered this am. (2nd dose) My question is when can I stop washing everything, every day in bleach and vacuuming my bed, flooring, etc. every day?
