Allow the Dawn dish soap to sit on your pet’s fur for a few minutes. This gives the soap time to work on the fleas, effectively weakening their grip on your pet’s fur.
5. Rinse Thoroughly
Thoroughly rinse your pet’s fur with clean water to remove the soap. Ensure that no soap residue remains on their skin, as this can cause irritation.
6. Salt Application
After rinsing, towel-dry your pet as much as possible. Then, generously sprinkle table salt onto your pet’s fur. Gently rub the salt into their fur. The salt acts as a desiccant, dehydrating and ultimately killing flea eggs.
7. Brushing and Drying
Using a flea comb or a regular pet brush, carefully comb through your pet’s fur. This step helps remove dead fleas and any remaining eggs. Allow your pet to air dry naturally.
8. Repeat If Necessary
Depending on the severity of the flea infestation, you may need to repeat this process after a few days to ensure all fleas and eggs are completely eliminated.
