Need to disinfect against e-cuniculi what's best ?

We are nearing the end of our 2nd course of medicine for e-cuniluni. Bella had made a good recovery the first time, but 6 weeks or so later she came down with it again. We don't know why, but won't be taking any chances.

We need to do some serious cleaning to ensure Bella dosen't get infected again so what is best ?

Diluted Bleach ?,

White vinegar ( what proportions ?)

Boiling water ? On run ?

Steam cleaning ?


All advise welcome.

Thank you

Thanks, also any ideas on how frequently I should be disinfecting. We are on day 28 mid next week. I really wasn't expecting it to come back after the first time as the vet never mentioned anything about the continued spores, it is only from forums like this I Knew.

Litter Trays - 10% bleach solution.

Surroundings, steam cleaning is best.

The thinking is to disinfect on days 21 and 28 of treatment to coincide with the life cycle of the parasite.
 
will do, thanks.

What about the weeks that follow ?, i understand the spores continue to be released for sometime afterwards.
