I hate the tummy bug and with school back in session I know our girls will bring it home...
So I wanted to find out how other moms deal with the piles of bedding, sick blankets, dollies, and clean-up towels that come with our babies pets, or hubby is sick.. So what do you do? Any tips? Please share in the comments below!
I'll go first.. Here is what I do now:
1. Shake off...well you know.
2. Prewash with a couple of drops Dawn Dishsoap on cold. I figure if it is chemically produced to dissolve food, well, puke is food...um sort of I guess. ;)
3. Do a short soak/prewash with a few drops Tea Tree Oil. TTO kills germs, viruses, and gets rid of odors naturally.
4. Launder as normal on hot or as garment suggests.
I only give them sheets and towels to sleep with cause those seem to be the easiest to clean. We have designated puke bowls (which we get from walmart- they are last years easter buckets) Also I cover their pillow with a large garbage bag and then the pillow case. Oh and I try give them towels and sheets that can be bleached so it gets all the yuckies out.
ReplyDeleteOh also I have an oil that I mix with water in a spray bottle called OnGuard which kills all flu germs and bacteria. It has a mix of wild orange, clove bud, cinnamon, eucalyptus, and rosemary.
