How do you disinfect bedding without washing it?

Can you explain how one might go about disinfecting bedding materials without the need for traditional washing methods? Are there specific cleaning agents or processes that are particularly effective at killing bacteria and other microorganisms on bedding without the use of water and detergents? I'm particularly interested in knowing if there are any non-water-based techniques that can still ensure the sanitation and cleanliness of bedding, perhaps using UV light or some other form of disinfection. Additionally, are there any potential drawbacks or considerations that one should be aware of when using these alternative methods?
