  We just found out our daughter has ringworm. Our rabbit was at the vet last week and didn’t appear to be infected, so we think we may have actually picked it up at the vet. What cleaners are effective on fungus and safe for use around a rabbit? We have to clean carpets (regular and area rugs), linens and clothes, upholstery, etc. We have clotrimazole cream, 1% for use on the toddler. We have not seen any patches on the rabbit.

  Ugh, frustrating if it was picked up from the vet clinic. I suspect my rabbit picked up his fur mite from a clinic too.
  
  You may have to check in with the vet on suitable products.
  
  There are carpet shampoos that contains an anti-fungal (enilconazole) that may be okay. The only use around rabbits that I’ve found so far was for a rabbit farm, where it was used to spray down walls and floor.
  
  For other floors, just 1:10 bleach/water is fine.
