Get rid of your pet’s fleas by using Dawn dish soap and table salt.

🏠 How to Use Salt in Your Home for Fleas

✅ What You’ll Need:

• Regular table salt (fine, not coarse)
• A sifter or your hand
• Vacuum cleaner

🧂 Steps:

1. Lightly sprinkle salt on your carpets, pet bedding, rugs, and furniture.
2. Let it sit for 12–48 hours (keep pets off treated areas during this time).
3. Vacuum thoroughly — fleas, eggs, salt, and all.
4. Repeat every few days for a couple of weeks to break the flea life cycle.

🌟 Bonus Tip: Mix salt with baking soda to boost the drying effect and deodorize carpets at the same time.

⚠️ Important Safety Notes

• Don’t use Dawn on cats too frequently — they have more sensitive skin than dogs. Once in a while is okay, but always rinse thoroughly.
• Avoid using salt directly on pets — it’s for your home only.
• Never use dish soap that contains fragrances, bleach, or antibacterial agents — stick to plain blue Dawn.

🧼 Combine With Regular Prevention

While this home remedy works well in mild to moderate cases, it should be paired with:

• Vacuuming regularly
• Washing pet bedding in hot water
• Vet-approved flea prevention (like topical treatments or oral meds)

Think of this Dawn + salt method as your first-response toolkit, not your only defense.

✅ Final Thoughts

Fleas may be stubborn, but with a little Dawn dish soap and table salt, you’ve got a simple, safe, and budget-friendly way to fight back — naturally. No harsh chemicals, no complicated routines — just good old-fashioned home care.

Your pet will thank you with fewer itches and more tail wags!
