How to bleach things for a Parvo puppy coming home?

cows_the_word asked:


I just found out my 6 month old puppy has Parvo. She had some vaccinations for it but there is still that slight chance they can get it. She is in the ICU being treated right now, and I am crossing my fingers and praying she comes out fine.

I have been trying to find out what to do before she comes home. I’ve read to bleach everything. If you bleach blankets and bedding does it completely drain the color out of it? What about cleaning toys and non-carpeted floors? Do you do a bleach solution for those things or straight hard bleach by itself?

I also live in a condo. Should I warn the complex management or anyone in the area? Any information would be great, thanks!

Supplementary Note:

If your dog has been exposed to the virus, Parvo prevention is possible without vaccinations.
