Hello Sara,
this is not a Lepisma saccharinum.
It is either Ctenolepisma longicaudatum or Ctenolepisma calvum.

Ctenolepisma longicaudatum has twelve ommatidiae.
Ctenolepisma calvum has eigth ommatidiae.

Dear Todd,
I have no experience in freezing vacuum cleaners so far. But I have heard that the filtration capacity/ dust retention ability of the vacuum bags may change after washing. You should verify this by contacting the manufacturer of the vacuum cleaner.

Hallo Dee,
if there is an infestation of giant silverfish (Ctenolepisma longicaudata) you can find excrement looking like ground pepper.
It would be worth to identify the silverfish, if it is Ctenolepisma longicaudata or Lepisma saccharina.
If you need further help, just contact me.
Good
