Does bleach kill the parvo virus?

Answer by  MattK (1713)

Common household bleach is very effective against virtually all viruses. The parvo virus, which affects dogs, can be easily avoided if any areas exposed to or suspected to have been exposed to the virus are washed down with at least 2% bleach. Once the area has been washed down, allow it to dry completely.
