So the stomach virus has come full circle in our house

My DD got sick last sat night from 1-5 am
We felt horrible it was miserable watchign her going through it (Our first exp with this)

We thought our DS was in the clear bec Sun-tues all was fine!

Well we were wrong...Wed he got sick..

then we thought ok now we are in the clear..

then thurs my DH got sick

and now I got sick last night all night and I have body aches, chills and fever to add to it!

It is miserable BEING sick with your kids you feel so helpless...luckily my DH felt better today to take care

So how do we go about disinfecting our house!?!?!??!

we have:

FILLED to the brim WITH TOYS of all shapes and sizes...

We have washed all our beddings..but what else can we do esp with all those toys...is there a spray? or do each have to be washed by hand?!?

Thanks to all the exp moms! I am at a loss what to do besides just chucking everything in the house and starting over again! HAHAHA!

Honestly, just spray the heck out of everything with Lysol spray and don't touch it until it is dry. Every toy, bed frame, cabinet knob, door knob, toilet seat, flusher, sink handle, EVERY hard object that could have been touched! My house was hit with the virus around Super bowl and by using a LOT of Lysol, i was somehow able to not get it (even with cleaning up the bodily fluids of EVERY person in my house Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon )

Ugh I had that virus, it was TERRIBLE!

As for the toys, I suggest filling your bathtub with a water/bleach mixture and soaking them for 10 minutes, then let them air dry

So just to update..this was our day today!
Note: there is barely any water in there! Chat Icon Chat Icon

This was just a third of the toys..another third was stuffed animals and dolls we had to do two loads in the washing machine and the other third were ones we wiped down by hand with alcohol wipes! This better have gotten whatever germs we had/have OUT! LOL!
