Unfortunately parvovirus can be active in the environment for years, even if you clean with bleach. I recommend making sure all of your dogs are up to date with vaccines as well as looking into getting the puppies onto a different premise for the time being until they are ready to be adopted out. Parvovirus is a highly contagious and highly fatal disease and there is not a whole lot you can really do at home to ensure that they do not get it because it cannot be inactivated readily.
