How should our bed and bedding be treated when cat sleeps on it every nite?

Underneath the blanket is a comforter cover and then comforter. Should we spray Ultracide on the comforter cover? If so, will this kill any fleas that may have burrowed into the comforter? We can't lock cat out or prevent him from sleeping on our bed.

Answer:

We recommend that you remove all linens and wash and dry on high heat to kill any existing fleas. While they are being laundered, we recommend spraying your mattress and box spring with SteriFab give time to completely dry before applying your linens back on the bed. We suggest that you have the cat treated for fleas by your vet. Ultracide is great for indoor flea treatments on carpeted, hard surface floors and furniture. We recommend vacuuming prior to the application and each day for 14 days. On the 14th day, you will vacuum and treat with a second application of Ultracide and vacuum for additional 14 days. After vacuuming each day, replace with a new bag or empty the canister (if bagless) in a trash bag outside of the home. Please contact us at 866.581.7378 if you have any questions.
