Off to get meds for the whole fan as found worms in dd1 and 2. Am going to booleash bedding. Have scrubbed bathrooms too. Can the eggs be cleaned/killed by antibacterial household products? Also, my kids chuck their knickers on floor, will hoovering suffice or should I steam clean.

Should I also clean the linen insert in the Washbin and should I put all pending washing in a black sack? Do I need to boil wash or will 40 drugs suffice?

Do they need to stay of school tomorrow and should I tell the teachers/friends/office?

I gutted and also embarrassed. I know thus is a common childhood thing but I still think its yuck. Thx.
