A member asked:
Which are the most effective detergents and laundry methods to use after having a staph infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hot water: The brand doesn't mean as much as it's important, for seven days, to wash in hot water, all sheets and towels, every day, for seven days dont reuse. Also use disposable razors during this time, and it helps to use antibacterial soap (sometimes prescription) lather up for 10 minutes then rinse, along with antibiotic by mouth and ointment in the nose. Good luck.
