Treatment for Beds and Upholstery
The big question now is, how do you get rid of fleas? If you notice flea infestation, your first action should be to cultivate daily vacuuming of all soft surfaces. This includes carpets and upholstered furniture, such as couches and chairs.
You can sprinkle flea powder onto carpets and rugs and vacuum it up later. Sprays are also available for treatment around the house. Throw out the vacuum bag each time you vacuum. The suction action of vacuuming may kill many fleas in all stages of their lives, but it probably won’t kill all of them. Fleas can continue to live and lay eggs in vacuum cleaner bags for 1 to 2 weeks.
Wash your sheets and blankets and your pet’s bedding every few days in hot water. You should also wash your curtains too, especially if they touch the floor.
