Properly cleaning for pinworms

I found out today that Cookie has pinworms. I just got back from picking her meds up from the vet, and now I’m wondering what I can use to disinfect her tank while she’s being treated.

I plan to remove everything from her enclosure and soak all furnishings, and also replace her reptile carpet with paper towels to be changed out daily. Should I use bleach diluted with water for soaking/wiping down? I read somewhere that bleach doesn’t kill pinworms so just hoping for some clarification. I use a Chlorhexadine 2% solution for regular cleanings, but I’m worried it’s not strong enough for pinworms?

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
