Disinfect

• 1). Put on gloves and a face mask. The CDC recommends using rubber, latex, vinyl or nitrile gloves.
  
  
• 2). Pour 1 1/2 cups of household bleach into 1 gallon of water to create a hypochlorite solution. Thoroughly wet the infected fabric with the disinfecting solution. If the fabric is not color-safe, you can wash clothing and stuffed animals in a washing machine with detergent. To disinfect fabric on furniture, use a commercial-grade steam cleaner or shampoo.
  
  
• 3). Remove solid mouse droppings that have been thoroughly soaked with the disinfecting solution with a damp towel, and mop or sponge the area with more disinfectant.
  
  
• 4). Disinfect gloves with soap and water before removing. Double-bag gloves and mouse droppings and discard into an appropriate waste disposal system.
  
  
• 5). Dry clothes or stuffed animals in a clothes dryer after washing.
