There is quite a need I would be able to fill, particularly for a mom and her kittens right now but I need to be as sure as I can be that my home is clear of ringworm.

What I've done so far is cleaned the surfaces of everything but the walls with a strong clorox solution then rinsed. I'll be doing the walls next.

Then I sprayed the carpets and bed (there's a bed in the room) with Lysol spray. Then vacuumed.

Then I bathed all three of the kittens in my home with Hexadine. I did not bathe my 7 year old Pixel since she mostly outside and not touching the kittens.

Please help so I can continue to help without causing a problem.

When I brought Bakker home from cat resue place and took to vet a week or so later he had ringworm too. I washed the woodwork and only lower parts of walls with bleachy solution and washed clothes, bedding etc that I now he had contact with. There were a couple of room he hadn't been in so I shut thoes off. But with 4 cats my vet prescribed a really expensive fungal med for the 4 cats plus we bought anti fungal cream as DH & I along w/sis & my mom got Ringworm too. Funny dad didn't get it.
Make sure when you vaccum to throw away they vacuum bag.
I didn't have any problems after this!!
