That's it! Thank you so much. You've just helped end a very long search. ^_^
A mid-to-late 1990s kids TV show about two brothers who live with their parents in an apartment.
The older brother (the main character) was around 11-12 and the younger brother was about 8. If I recall correctly, the older one would have these "imagine spots" to do with some life situation or another.
I remember some distinct parts of two episodes: One had the older brother in the park talking with his friends about germs, which then cut to an imagine spot where big bro returns home and finds his parents (in hazmat suits) have turned the apartment into an ultra-clean zone. They take the baseball mit he has and put in a bag and then it cuts to the little bro in a hazmat suit with a decontamination spray, laughing maniacally, before going back to reality.
The other moment was where the little bro thinks there's monsters under his bed. The wacky superintendent/handyman of the building (guy with a moustache) gave him "anti-monster spray" to use under his bed. The following morning, the kid has used up the spray can.
