You are a hair stylist and a client came in with lice you shampooed her hair combed it then saw the lice Do you need to throw out all your combs or brushes or does soaking them in Clorox kill them?

Soaking every instrument in bleach or alcohol overnight will kill anything. You should also wash everything else (chairs, sinks, etc) with a good antiseptic like Lysol or alcohol just to be sure that none of the little beggars crawled off of her.
