bulldog24 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I am going to go nuts cleaning. Bleach is my friend. I am ready to throw a grenade in my house and be done with it. Ticks are out in full force too...causing serious anxiety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airial95 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I don't know, but I've added spraying every possible surface in my house with Lysol part of my weekly cleaning ritual. We did a MASSIVE clean and sterilization when my son had his T&A in November - wanted a super clean slate when it was over. At that time, my husband and I decided we should invent the "lysol bomb". Sort of like a bug bomb/fogger - yyou set it in your house and leave for a couple of days and it disinfects everything!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayzoo Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Months "In a systematic review of the literature, German researchers explored the ability of infectious organisms to survive on inanimate surfaces.1 They found that most gram-positive bacteria, including vancomycin-resistant enterococcus (VRE), methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and Streptococcus pyogenes can survive for months on dry surfaces.

It is more environmentally friendly and still disinfects as well. http://www.google.com/#hl=en&sugexp=frgbld&gs_nf=1&cp=11&gs_id=1r&xhr=t&q=Peroxide+vs+bleach&pf=p&sclient=psy-ab&oq=Peroxide+vs&aq=&aqi=&aql=&gs_l=&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=61ced53140c9a9e9&biw=1024&bih=605 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

writergal Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Our son just had the H1 flu- funny we- the ped and I were actually gloriously happy that it was the flu. He had a mild case she almost didn't test but did just for giggles- so glad she did. When he started coughing and complaining of a sore throat it got me concerned. We've definitely been seeing some flares. I've been going crazy with bleach on every surface as well- don't want the rest of us to get this awful flu.
