Disinfecting the house after a stomach bug

Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon We got hit HARD! In addition to washing all the clothes, sheets, towels and blankets, scrubbing my bathroom, wiping all the door knobs, countertops with Clorox wipes, wiping down all the toys, how else can I make sure that everything has been disinfected?

Last year we got hit with it, and didn't do any special disinfecting, and it didn't last more than a day or two for each person affected. Once everyone ended up getting it, you're not going to "re-catch" the same virus, so it didn't seem necessary.

Open the windows, let the fresh air in a just spray all surfaces with plain ol' lysol. This happened to us back in December. It was awful!

So glad this was posted- we'll be doing all of this today. Although- I gotta say, I did most of this when Mads first got it but we all still caught it.Chat Icon
