How do I clean my apartment and everything of mine from ParvoVirus?

Question

How am I supposed to bleach EVERYTHING? And as far as clothes go... is it the tide w/bleach in it, or something else? Do I have parvovirus on my feet even after a shower?

Answer 1

You can get an institutional cleaner at your livestock feed supply. It comes in gallon jugs, and does not bleach. Just read the label to make sure it says 'parvo virus', or ask for kennel cleaner... If you have a nice pharmacist, you may be able to get hospital cleaner there..
I got a batch of bad vaccine, and lost several pups to parvo..However, using the hospital cleaners, I was able to raise many future litters without problem.

Answer 2

Like the name says it is a virus. The virus is shed thru the fecal matter of an infected dog. So you have to make sure any where that the sick has used the bathroom that all fecal matter has been removed of course I am talking about outside since obviously no one would leave any dog droppings inside their home. The virus can last in the enviroment any where from 1 to 7 months. Usually 5 to 7 outside. There are special disenfectants on the market that are especially made to eliminate the virus but common household bleach mixed with water works just as well but doesnt smell as good. The solution should be 1 part bleach to 30 parts water. As long as you did not get any dog poop on your clothes then your clothes are not a problem. You figure at a vets office they handle many dogs that come in with Parvo and all they do is clean where the dog might of had an accident. I would suggest if the dog was in the house to rent a steam cleaner and put some lysol in the water. If you do use a steam cleaner make sure it is one that really uses steam and not just warm water to make you think you are really steaming the carpet. If the steam cleaner has a hose you can also do your furniture. Your clothes like I said are not any problem unless the dog had pottied on them. Steam clean your carpets and bleach your floors and if you have a yard where the dog might of been you can take a shovel and scoop up an inch or two where the dog had been and throw that dirt away. Or throw some bleach around.

You can buy a product named total kil which kills parvo virus & lots of other things. If you live in the UK it is make by a company called petcetera. You mix it with water & spray surfaces & clothes. Vets also sell a powder in sachets that you can mix that is effective against Parvo. You can't use bleach on your clothes as it will ruin them. Search the internet for products or go to the vet. Don't get too paranoid about it by thinking you have it all over you. Just wash your clothes as normal in the washing machine. Parvo is quiet resistant but not to that extreme. It is suggested that you wait 6 months before you bring a dog into a house where there has been parvo. I have had 2 puppies that had only had their first vaccination when they came into contact with a dog with parvo. They never caught it. Have a tray near your front door with disinfectant in so as you or visitors leave the apartment you can stand in it. This will prevent you spreading it to other dogs.

Answer 4

Our two pups came down with parvo and the vet told us to clean what you were able to with bleach. He didn't say anything about our clothing....I would think washing them and then drying them in a dryer would take care of most of the germ. If you have a dog that has come down with parvo and recovered, the chances of them getting it back it small. If your had a dog that had parvo and passed away from it and you are planning on bringing a pup home, make sure it gets vaccinated against parvo before bringing it home. Parvo can stay in the ground for years and years and there is really nothing you can do to about that.

Answer 5

this isn't any longer in a great number of cases mandatory, although this isn't any longer weird and wonderful. mushy skinned produce like peaches, spinach or strawberries can often times soak up cleansing soap into the flesh, although. Use an unfragranced castile cleansing soap. people in my area are time-honored to that. some issues I continually wash with cleansing soap are cantaloupes, oranges and apples in the journey that they have got been waxed. Cantaloupes are notorious for an infection after cutting via a grimy outdoors, shifting pollution to the interior. you need to continually a minimum of rinse all produce, in spite of in case you do not devour the peel. The vinegar technique reported via others is classic and efficient, too. this is real that operating water and rubbing via hand can eliminate very virtually all soil and mud, the small volume of micro organism that is adhered on to the outdoors of the fruit or veg wont come off that way. in a great number of cases those remaining do not reason ailment because people's immune structures are extra healthful to resist an infection. concerning insecticides, many pesticide residues have a low solubility in water and require some style of surfactant or scrubbing to correctly eliminate them, if in any respect, from peel you'd be eating. averting the peel is an selection. Systemic insecticides cant be bumped off.

Answer 6

Parvo can live in a setting up to 9 months. I would really avoid bringing an animal in to the place for that time period. If you plan on moving, make sure you tell the landlord about this just in case the new renters have a dog.

Answer 7

Contact a company that provides cleaning supplies for companies, ie; hospitals, nursing homes, restaurants, etc.... they have cleaning products that will kill the virus on surfaces where you can't or don't want to use bleach.
As far as your clothes go, buy a bottle of regular bleach and follow the directions on the label.

Answer 8

There are only a few product, one is Sentinel One-Step germacidal, which has been proven to eliminate Canine Parvovirus, consult your veterinarian.

if you were careful to restrict your dog with parvo your whole house should not need to be treated if not, then the only way to be certain is to remodel. The parvovirus is extremely resistant to most cleaning agents.

Answer 9

Prevention and Management
A live canine parvovirus vaccine is available, and initial and follow-up vaccination for young puppies is considered critical. Yearly booster vaccinations should be adequate for protecting adult dogs.
There is no cure for parvovirus, and treatment may be difficult. Intravenous fluids and electrolytes are provided to counteract dehydration, medication is given to relieve intestinal cramping, and antibiotics are given to prevent secondary bacterial infection.
The best way to prevent CPV is to promote annual vaccination and to clean any potentially contaminated areas with chlorine bleach.

Answer 10

I don't know that you ever can, without destroying the place. I only say that because i lived somewhere once, where every dog I had got parvo and died. They were outside dogs, but slept under the porch. I spray every chemical you can think of under there, and all around the outside of the house, but nothing ever worked. I eventually, didn't buy another pet, till I moved away from there.
