    Suggestions on disinfecting rack

    I purchased a used melamine rack with 5 shelves. Before I even think about putting my babies in there I need to disinfect the heck out of it. I was thinking about getting some Clorox wipes and going to town on it. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

    Just some bleach in water will be fine. Like a cap or so to a gallon of water. Or if you have it, you can use Chlorhexidine Solution with water.

    I'd also use PAM after disinfecting, just to be on the safe side

    PAM = Provent A Mite

    kills those mites and thier eggs. and children

    You could also wash all the tubs down with Vinegar

    It disenfects almsot exactly like bleach, only without the whole nasty chemical buisness (or so ive heard)

    Hahaha...I am glad I asked. I thought they were talking about cooking spray. I could probably also use lice bedding spray. I used it when one of my BPs had mites. It worked pretty well.
