We just got hit for the second year in a row with the stomach virus.
I got it first, 5 days later my daughter and then 3 days after that my son. How do you treat colds/bugs in your home? Especially since we have to assume they are highly contagious and they both will get them?
I started bleaching everything immediately but another friend said, don't until everyone has had it because then you're doing it twice for nothing.
Thoughts?
I just couldn't help it, I had to start cleaning in fear someone else would catch it.
Re: Colds or Stomach Bugs
I can't say for my household, as we haven't dealt with this, but growing up in a large family, my mom would clean every few days. She figured that it at least cut down on the number of bacteria/viruses just hanging around. Then she'd do a huge deep clean once everyone was done.
Also worth mentioning, make sure to replace toothbrushes. Something not everybody thinks of, but one of the best places for things to stay on.

Thanks, yes that's one of the first things I did was throw out the toothbrushes. And being home I clean more then 2 times a week, the bathroom practically everyday, but the toys (bleaching or vinegar) and stuff like that in between them getting sick is what I was wondering. I ran a good 30 loads of laundry as they were puking on beach towels. Had to run them 2 and 3 times and in hot water.
Thanks ladies!
