Cleaning your home thoroughly can help prevent the spread of ringworm. Focus on areas where the infected child spends a lot of time, such as their bedroom and common play areas. Vacuum carpets and upholstery regularly to remove fungal spores.
Wash bedding, clothing, and towels in hot water and dry them on a high heat setting. Disinfect surfaces and items that the child frequently touches, such as door handles and toys. By maintaining a clean environment, you can reduce the risk of other family members contracting the infection.
