More mouse poop cleaning woes.

Drez

So this is like my fourth thread on this ongoing project.

Apparently one drawer in the kitchen (bread box) was full of the little fuckers. There's almost a full layer of tiny droppings. All dry by now.

My idea:

- vacuum poop
- sterilize vaccuum with chlorox disinfecting wipe
- remove drawer
- scrub bottom (and sides) or drawer with lysol/paper towels

Is that safe? We're going to line the bottoms of all these cabinets with contact paper/vinyl after they are cleaned.

"Do not sweep or vacuum mouse or rat urine, droppings or nests. This will cause dust particles to go into the air
where they can be breathed in. Wear rubber or plastic gloves and spray the urine and/or droppings with a
disinfectant or a mixture of bleach and water. Make sure you get the soiled area very wet. Let the area soak for
five minutes and then use a paper towel to wipe up. After discarding the paper towel in the garbage, mop or
sponge the area with a disinfectant or bleach solution. Wash your hands both before and after taking off your
gloves. For homes with a severe infestation problem, additional precautions and/or assistance from a pest control
professional may be necessary."

yea, just hit it with 10% bleach solution or chlorax clean up thing, let it and then dump it out in the trash, then repeat if you want. I deal with mouse poop all the time, thats how we do it.

you probably want to wipe/spray the whole drawer since they were scurrying around in there
