What about clothing or bedding?
Take bedding or clothing outside and either gently roll the droppings off or pick them off with
rubber gloves: do not shake them off! This is how hantavirus is spread. Then wash them as
regular laundry and dry them in a dryer or hang them outside in bright sunlight. Clothes worn
while cleaning mouse infestation can be handled in the same manner: carefully remove any
droppings, then wash and dry .

I found above advice on a Health Advisory site. I would be careful with Lysol. I had some material given to me that was washed in it or soaked in it??? I threw it out, the smell would not come out. Good luck.
