Cleaning linoleum/tile. Bleach?! Please read.?

Question

I don't want to gross anyone out, and I very much wish that this was just a troll. It isn't.

If someone, let's say DH, has had food poisoning diarrhea and didn't quite make it to the bathroom... how would you disinfect the linoleum/carpet? I already wiped everything up with paper towels. Then, I mopped the linoleum with PineSol. Should I bleach too? If so, how? 

For the carpet, I used rug cleaner and paper towels. You can't see anything, but I'm wondering if there's something else I can do.

Cleaning divas, help me!

My wife said to use Lysol disinfecting cleaner.

I think you have done all you need to do.  Pine Sol is a disinfectant too, so the linoleum is taken care of.  As for the carpet, as long as there isn't a stain or an odor I think that is ok too.  If you feel you want to do more, then mix a small amount of PineSol in water and use a cloth to go over the soiled area on the rug. That will do it!

Oxiclean is a versatile cleaning product that is traditionally known for getting tough stains out of laundry and carpet. It is also a multi-purpose cleanser in the bathroom or in the kitchen, as its chemical components act as a disinfectant as well as a stain remover
