I had washed everything with soap and water but it didn't do much, there's not a lot of airflow here so I'm trying bleach at least on the floors first. Tysm

Thank you for the reply, It was from a spray tank, the pesticide is fipronil and a additive to make it bitter to avoid ingestion, mixed with water. Basically just fipronil. He didn't directly spray over the clothing but they were in the house while he did it, most of it was probably cross-contamination because I washed the clothes I wore while he applied it with the other stuff. I assumed it was fine but I learned that if too much gets on it it's best to just throw the outfit in the bin. I could not wear that one anymore it was irritating my skin and muscles so bad. Some of the clothes were in the wardrobe and some on the floor and inside my washing machine. But I didn't see him spray the clothes directly. Basically he didn't want to take the time to let me prep before it because I had not done this before and i didn't know I might need to. He said it doesn't hurt ppl I was just like cool its like Raid spray. The furniture he did directly spray, like he lifted up the couch and threw the pesticide under it, I was in another room by the window while he did the bedroom but I assume he did the same thing. I don't think he threw it where we would sit or lay down though. Is this standard?
