Sam's Club has a great cleaner/disinfectant/odor control called "ODO-BAN" for about $10 a gallon that I use for washing dog flooring, towels and crates. I add a little store brand bleach to the laundry, but I do not use anything but the disinfectant and water for the other areas. While I am all for disinfecting within reason, I think it's really impossible to completely "disinfect" everything, and unless you are having to isolate a dog for a direct-contact contagious condition, I'd refrain from routine use of something as toxic as chlorine. I have a friend who is meticulous...her house is clean and her dogs get Veterinary advice/consultations whenever they sneeze. Her dogs are always "coming down with something". I think her efforts to keep things clean are killing off the "good germs" as well as over-controlling the "bad germs".
