HPV and STD sharing bathroom/bath/washer and dryer

Hi,
I am male and week a I got a hand job in an Asian massage parol.
It was a mistake because I was a virgin till now and I probably have changed my life just because of this mistake.

The important question is my roommate. We are sharing a bath/shower/washer and dryer. I want to know what should I have to do so my roommate do not have a chance of getting HPV from me. I know that heat and dry cycles and regular disinfectant do not kill the virus so what should I have to do to to sanitize the our common things.
I am using bleach in the washer with 2 hour cycle of washing but is that enough. I really appreciate if you can help me with that.

If you have ever had sex, you probably got some type of HPV.  It is unavoidable.  With saying this, most clear the system.

Thank you very much for your quick response. What I said is mainly based on two websites. The first one is Public Health Agency of Canada which stated that (I am just copying):

SURVIVAL OUTSIDE HOST: HPV is resistant to heat and drying, and is able to survive on inanimate objects such as clothing and laboratory equipment that have come in contact with infected patients, although the precise survival time is unknown.

also, they in the mentioned that the:

MODE OF TRANSMISSION: Infectious cells can be transmitted through direct virus- cell contact, such as skin-skin contact, sexual activity, and prolonged exposure to contaminated clothing as the virus may be carried on fomites(1). Transmission can also occur from mother-to-newborn through vertical transmission, albeit rarely(11).

In another study at Penn State they mentioned Popular disinfectants do not kill HPV. The also refereed to other research that has suggested that HPV could be transmitted non-sexually. The current study shows that medical instruments considered sterile could pose a risk for transmission.

I know what I am saying is can sound crazy and In this case you should not even touch the door knobs. However, if her pervious client had HPV and her hand were contaminated even if used disinfectant it is possible to transfer the virus.

I know that what I have done was a mistake, and I might suffer the consequences but I am worried about my roommate!

Thank you for answering me.

Huh?  This disease requires genital skin to skin rubbing or oral cavity sex. The odds you are got HPV from a HJ is zero or very close to it. It is the most safest of sex. Not sure where you are getting this info about how it spreads. Please visit the CDC site and educate yourself. Your roommate is safe now.
