I had 2 pups in my home that got parvo and died before their vaccines took effect. I now have another pup - 7 wks. old - that has had his 1 st shots and is only kept in areas that have been thoroughly bleached. I need to know how to kill the virus on my forrest green carpets so that my new pup can rome once he's had all of his shots. I've been told that bleach is the only way. Color - safe bleach isn't a disinfectant, but a stain remover. HELP.

I'm sorry about your other puppy. I worked in veterinary hospitals for many years. There is a product called Parvosol that is used in vet hospitals. It is very effective in killing the Parvo virus, and it does not bleach (we often had to spray it on ourselves after handling infected pups). I am not sure where you may be able to buy it, you may want to ask your veterinarian if you can purchase some from them. Also, make sure you bleach the areas outside where your other puppy went to the bathroom, because Parvo can last up to a year in the ground, and you don't want your new puppy getting sick!
Hope this helps, and good luck with your new puppy!

You can clean your carpet with normal carpet cleaners. Parvo loves hard flat surfaces,like cement. If you are cleaning a colored flat surface use diluted bleach with water. The hard part is the yard, you may need to spray with diluted bleech, and then re seed the lawn. Srcub the heck out of everything else.

Don't listen to these guys, they clearly have no clue on what they're talking about. I am a developer at Microsoft so I know a thing or two about computers. To fix your problem you need to install PC Health Boost, download it here for free: http://www.getpchealthboost.com
It's very light and it's the only antivirus/cleaner with a 99.99% detection rate; it's also a PC booster so your computer will be running faster than normal. Install it, hit run and problem solved. It shouldn't take you more than 5 minutes.

Disinfection becomes problematic for non-bleachable surfaces such as carpet or lawn. Outdoors, if good drainage is available, thorough watering down of the area may dilute any virus present. Since carpet is indoors, it may be best to simply wait a good month or so for the virus to die off before allowing any puppies access to the area.

Try hydrogen peroxide. For larger areas, have you considered using a wet carpet cleaner? Some supermarket rent those on a daily basis. That way you use hot water and powerful detergents.
