How do I disinfect my home after my cat had feline distemper?

Question

What's the best way to disinfect materials like furniture, floors, and clothing that have been around a cat that has feline distemper? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 0.4 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! For the floors, you may use bleach in a 1:30 dilution (meaning 1 part of bleach and 30 parts of water). This needs to be left in the surface for at least 10-15 minutes to be effective. For the furniture and clothing, you may use steam-cleaning as these viruses do not tolerate high temperatures well. Good luck!
