  1. Warts are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV), and there are around 100 different viruses that can cause warts.  Some of the viruses are specific to certain body locations (for instance, plantar warts occur on the bottoms of the feet and are caused by HPV 1, 2, 4, and 63).

    Since you don't mention what type of warts you're concerned about, a very general answer would be that clothes of someone with warts should be washed separately in hot water.

    This article http://articlebay.org/sexual-dangers-war... provides more information about your question.  Although it's titled "Sexual Dangers", it addresses other types of warts besides genital warts.

    As another poster mentioned, a 1:10 water/bleach spray should be sufficient to clean a shower stall.  Even if a family member doesn't have warts, it's a good idea to clean the shower daily like this anyway!


  2. Yes it is, and you are WAY too paranoid about this. Genital Warts is a sexually transmitted disease which means you have to have s*x, (hence the term- sexually transmitted) with an infected person to get warts!  

  3. I agree that you might be a bit overcareful here.  That being said, the washing machine is more than enough for anything (including towels).  As for the tub and shower, just make sure they are clean.  Any household cleaner (or a bleach solution in a spray bottle) will do the trick.
