Should I disinfect my home after my son’s HFMD has recovered? How should I do it?

HFMD is spread from person to person through direct contact with nasal discharge, saliva, faces, and fluid from the rash of an infected person. Proper hygiene, such as handwashing, should be practiced. Surfaces and items, such as toys and towels, contaminated by droplets, saliva, or stool from children with HFMD should be thoroughly disinfected with a diluted solution of chlorine-containing bleach.
