Will a clothes dryer kill viruses?

Yes, a clothes dryer can kill certain viruses, particularly if it operates at high temperatures. Most viruses are sensitive to heat, and drying clothes at temperatures above 140°F (60°C) for at least 30 minutes can effectively reduce their viability. However, it's important to note that not all viruses are equally susceptible, and proper washing with detergent is also essential for effective disinfection.
