HI!
I recently found I have thread/pin worms. I have done research which says it is crucial to clean to prevent reinfection. One website says cleaning the floor with vinegar will kill eggs, the next site says viengar DOES NOT kill the eggs. Does anyone know what chemical or cleaner kills eggs?
Thank You.

Bleach will kill the ones on the floor, to kill eggs on a person swallow 3-4 cloves of garlic a day for a few days, hope this helps

abo before you worry about the floor,make sure you have cleared yourself of the worms and also all members of your family. Have you used the medication Mebendazole? you should be able to buy it in your chemist/pharmacy. 2 doses are needed 2 weeks apart
It is then essential not to put your fingers in your mouth... as eggs are usually transferred to the mouth via fingers.
Make sure all underwear,bed linen and towels are washed at a high temperature......that is more important than washing the floor. All toys should be washed if you have a child/baby in the house
Scrubbing the floor with a floor cleaner will do the job. Or just hot water and soap. Carpets should be vacuumed thoroughly.
