Understand that the dreaded parasites can be present almost in any nook or crevasses, even between floor boards and that just a few surviving parasites could literally re infest you home again.
Start by vacuuming every inch of your home carefully, everywhere from flooring to couches, draperies etc.
On completion, get rid of the vacuum bag immediately by either putting it into an air tight plastic bag before disposing it, or better still, burn it.
When cleaning the home with a solution of detergent and hot water or simply with a steam cleaner, ensure that you do a thorough job.
Wash all bedding, especially those of your pets.
Detergent and water will help you get rid of the fleas easily.

This should help you get rid of all parasites.
And now you are ready to clean up your pet.
Use shampoo and combs for a thorough bath.
Use spray on their bedding to prevent re infestation.
