Sorry if this is a silly question but I noticed fleas on my cat so I treated the cat and the home but how soon can I mop ? as I’m reading online I shouldn’t mop for 2 weeks which is far too long for me to go without mopping!

Have you read why you should not mop? It’s so the eggs that hatch are also killed. Don’t ignore that advice.

Ah no, with kids my floors get very messy very quickly 😩

Surely it will be far worse if the fleas take hold? An infestation is horrific
