You can use boiling water from the stove. Totally worth it.
Thank you and yes - I'll be doing that since I have carpet now ...I read that too and thought it REALLY SUCKS they can lurk that long -

I haven't seen any signs of fleas now since I washed everything & treated them - but I'm going to be on guard now -

I never really did see any fleas on the girls but for that ONE after the Dawn bath.
