Yes, I use it exclusively ......after my parvo event (?? 8 ?) years ago, I wash everything down with this stuff and it can be used even on their bowls...that is the only thing I do not do, is wash eating/drinking bowls with it. I mix up different amounts...I have it in spray bottles for daily cleaning out trays....and for spraying on my throw rugs in my foyer for my new owners to walk on when they enter the house to look at their baby. I have it in a large sprayer for the yard /patio area. Once a week, I take all crates out into the yard and spray down the entire wire crate surface and allow them to air dry....once a month, the walls and floors and counter tops are all sprayed and allowed to dry. It is perfectly safe around the dogs, and you do not rinse it off, you allow it to dry on the surfaces....makes it a whole lot easier to spray those wire crates and allow them to dry, than wiping them down, trying to make sure to hit all surface areas! You just dont let babies walk in WET, PUDDLED areas. We also wash trays with a Wishy-Washy power spray system, paper towel dried, followed by a misting with the Virkon. It sounds like a whole lot of time and work, but it isnt....goes real fast. I did get doing the laundry in Virkon from YOU, Carmen! Check out the Wishy-Wash system Carmen, and forget the bleach! Kills odors NOT by masking with perfume smell but by complete disinfecting.
