    I'd assume so but I figure a regular washing would be fine

      It may or may not be. Monkeypox is typically only killed at temperatures markedly higher than most washing machines and dryers can reach. However, it may be the case that the use of detergent will allow the virus to break down at a lower temperature. This latter bit is information I've seen repeated but without any source.
