This is why veterinarians recommend clipping the pet’s hair (alert the groomer). Fungus likes to grow in dark spaces on hair and debris. If your pet has ringworm, change the bag each time you vacuum. The parts of a bagless vacuum can be soaked in diluted bleach water between uses. The only reliable killer of the ringworm spores is a 1:10 dilution of bleach in water. Use this with care because it will stain. Sunlight also kills ringworm. Items that cannot be thrown away can be left in the sun outside to rid them of ringworm contamination. |
Good advice!
To the OP...do you have cats?
