I use non toxic products on anything I can. I use borax for a lot of cleaning so I tried the borax and salt on all the carpets. Spread it with a seive and you can brush it with a broom. Let it sit for as long as you can. It will kill all the stages of the flea. I spread it in the morning and vacumned it up before the kids came home form school. Some say to leave it for days. I dont know how you could. You also should vacume very day, I did. Make sure there is some borax in the bag so the little buggers die. What we got out of all my work is no fleas, gone. The carpets are deoderized, clean and look great. Totally worth it. To find the fleas walk around with white socks, they jump on white. Pick them up with tape, a good way to kill right away they cant get away. I was totally thrilled. No fleas clean smelling carpets. We had fleas in every room.
