[Help] My puppy has giardia. How do I prevent my other dog from getting it?

Mona (3 months) hasn't showed any symptoms, so this is a big surprise. At our last puppy check up, the vet told us to bring in a stool sample when we could. Yesterday happened to be that day. Today the vet called and said her stool tested positive for giardia so my fiance is at the vet picking up her medication and bringing in my other dog, Theo's, stool to be tested.

We live in an apartment building so we don't have a yard. There is a small dog park in our complex where we take both dogs to go potty and we walk them around the complex. Mona tries to eat every thing in sight, so i think it is how she could've picked up the disease. She'll bite the grass/dirt and I will instantly take it out of her mouth. Theo doesn't eat anything off the ground.

Anyway, is there a way for us to prevent it spreading besides picking up her poop which we already do? Should I wash all surfaces of the apartment? She will nap in bed with us on our comforter and sheets, pillowcases, so I already plan on washing those. But should I mop the floor with diluted bleach? She hasn't pooped in the house (and when she does it's on the wee wee pad thankfully).

I'd appreciate all input, comments, etc. I'm just a ball of stress right now. Plus, I'm a big hypochondriac so I'm worried that we humans could get it from her too.
