Hello everyone,

I foster kittens and I currently have two little ones that are now about six weeks old I discovered they had a server flea infestation. I was told that giving them a good bath with Dawn dish washer soap would do the trick. I gave them both a good bath, during the bath I was able to get a large number of them off later on while drying them and combing their fur I was able to get what I thought were the last few. I was happy thinking the little ones were on the clear that was I few days ago. I have now found they still have fleas, I am unsure of what to do next. Should I give them another bath with the Dawn soap?? These guys already have new parents waiting for them, and I want them to be clean and healthy by the time they go off to their new home!

When did they get their initial bath? Did you wash all their bedding/blankets and vacuum the room they are in before returning them to the area?

Dawn is safe enough to use every day if needed.  You do need to clean the house really well, fleas hide everywhere they can.  Good luck and I love people who foster kitties!
