whats the fastest way to get rid of ring worms on animals ?

already took them all to the vet, its ring worms, i bought this dip that smells really badly but first it was just the kitten that had it, then when i came home it was one of my 5month old puppies, the next day it was my 4yr old dog, the next day it was my 1yr old dog, and today it is now my other 5month old puppy, so need to know whats the fastest way to get rid of it, i am putting this different medicine on them that i used on my pitbull when she was a puppy it work great, reason i don't want to use it, cause my animals are indoors and the medicine stains everything purple, cause that's the way it is,

so anyone out there deal with a ring worm outbreak in there animals, please let me know what medicine is the fastest way to get rid of them, gonna wash all my sheets and dog bed tomorrow, and the kitten seems to be fine, the doctor could barely tell that he had it cause i had already used the purple medicine on the kitten, im using it on the dogs as well, but they seem to be getting them everywhere else on there bodies now, so need some help asap

Update:

my house is very clean, i have a clean freak mother, the dogs are only allowed in my room and i clean my room every night, so its not cause its dirty, anyways i ask whats the fastest way to get rid of it on animals not on my house, there are none on my house god

Update 2:

went to the vet, he didnt give me any shampoo, just gave me the stinky dip, and some eye cream to put in the animals eyes so that nothing would happened to them if the dip would come near there face, i just finished dipping the two younger puppies and letting them air dry like the vet said and i just dip the kitten and letting him air dry as well, i now have to do the two big dogs the first puppy that got it, seems like its going away cause the bumps on her are smoothing out and fading away a bit, there is this one big one on her that looks like a scab that im gonna have to treat that one for awhile to be able to get rid of it, the two older dogs only have the red spots here and there, and the other puppy only has 3 but i already dip all of her body in the dip formula

    Ringworm is the very same fungus that causes jock itch and athletes foot. You need to buy several cans of athletes foot spray and the cream. Go to your vet and buy a bottle of medicated anti fungal shampoo. You use the spray 2 times a day, morning and night, In the afternoon, use the cream. Bathe your dog with the medicated anti fungal shampoo weekly. You leave the shampoo on for a minimum of 5 minutes before you rinse. It will take a month or more to get this cleared up.

    I went through this with my Siberian Husky early this past summer.

    sulphur is used to control excessive itching and the growth of fungi, it is widely used against ringworm. To eliminate the temptation to scratch, many believe in dabbing the skin with sulphur and ringworm itching will subside. but this may not stop recurrent infections. i would suggest u to consult doctor after this pre-medicine
