I teach environmental science and vector control. This is no kidding
serious. When cleaning mouse urine wear a respirator not a dust mask. one
like you use to paint with. wear eye protection!! and spray it down I with
20% bleach and wait 15 to 20 min. before cleaning. If possible do so in a
well ventilated area. If possible use a wet clean process to prevent dust
particles.
