Taz my long hair likes to sleep on corner section of unit while I am at work. So I have had seen some fleas on us when we sit on the couch. So are any of these remedies safe to put on fabric furniture? I am going to try the salt on the carpet today and bathe them.
I am just so tired of the little hopping pests. I have found them on me. And since dogs sleep with me figured I might even wash sheets in vinegar, too. Would really like to have any info that would help. Thanks.

Home Remedies for Fleas
Don't put sevin dust inside your home. There are numerous products on the market that are developed for, tested for and sold for specifically indoor flea problems.
It's easy as can be. Sprinkle sevin dust. It comes in different strengths. I've used it before throughout home - even on my sheets in my bed at one time. I raise Yorkies and Persians and Basset Hounds. Occasionally the problem occurs and it can get out of hand really fast. They breed very quickly. If you are unsure how bad your problem is in a room or if there is still a problem, put a plate of water with tealight that you have lit in middle of plate and turn light off in room (of course no animals in room or children to knock over). Fleas go to it and drown. Gives you a good idea how bad it is still or if there is any left in room.
You might try putting a flea collar in your vacuum cleaner bag, then vacuuming every thing thoroughly and often.
Rosemary is also a flea deterrent. Sprinkle it around the house. Leave for awhile, then vacuum.
