Fleas
Flea bites
Adult fleas are not only a nuisance to humans and their pets, but can cause medical problems including flea allergy dermatitis (FAD), tapeworms, secondary skin irritations and, in extreme cases, anemia. Although bites are rarely felt, it is the resulting irritation caused by the flea salivary secretions that varies among individuals. Some may witness a severe reaction (general rash or inflammation) resulting in secondary infections caused by scratching the irritated skin area. Others may show no reaction or irritation acquired after repeated bites over several weeks or months. Most bites usually found on the ankles and legs may cause pain lasting a few minutes, hours or days depending on one's sensitivity.
The typical reaction to the bite is the formation of a small, hard, red, slightly-raised (swollen) itching spot. There is a single puncture point in the center of each spot. (Ants and spiders leave two marks when they bite. Mosquitoes, bees, wasps and bedbugs cause a large swelling or welt). Severe diseases can be transmitted by fleas. Bubonic plague can be passed from rodent to rodent and from rodent to humans. Oriental rat fleas can transmit murine typhus (endemic typhus) fever among rats and from rats to humans. Tapeworms normally infest dogs and cats but may appear in humans if parts of infested fleas are accidentally consumed.
How to use Kleen Green
™
remove fleas from yourself, your home and your pets
Pets
Suggested Dilution:
1 oz of Kleen Green™ to 7 oz of water
•Bathing for fleas & ticks: Stand your pet in a large container or tub. Wet hair around neck
and hind quarters first to prevent fleas traveling to those favorite hiding places. Then soak
the remainder of your pet's coat. Using a brush or your hands, gently massage Kleen Green™
as a shampoo over the entire body of your pet and leave on for approximately 3-5 minutes.
Rinse completely with warm water. Fleas and ticks will be washed away! Take care to
avoid eyes. Repeat, if necessary.
•Spray or bathe pets with diluted Kleen Green™ and wash bedding weekly in Kleen Green™
and/or Borax.
•Use a flea comb on your pet regularly. Dip the comb in diluted Kleen Green™ or soapy water.
•Routinely monitor flea population levels and keep a log of your observations.
•Restrict your pet's access inside your home.
*Note:
Kleen Green™ is safe to use on puppies or kittens, whereas poison flea remedies
cannot be used on young animals.
Carpets and upholstery
Suggested Dilution:
1 oz of Kleen Green™ to 7 oz of water
•Carpet is the perfect flea environment! Steam clean or vacuum thoroughly every day for two weeks if you suspect flea infestation. This will remove dried blood, carpet fibers, debris, diluted excrement, flea larva and their silk, eggs, pupal cocoons, adults, feces and other food sources.
•Spray Kleen Green™ on and around carpets, rugs, baseboards and floors or use in a carpet cleaner machine.
•Kleen Green™ is safe to spray on furniture, if needed. *As with all cleaners, test Kleen Green™ on an inconspicuous spot for colorfastness. Rinsing or wiping with clean water may be necessary if heavy application is used.
•Use vacuum attachments to clean cracks and crevices. Caulk or seal these openings permanently.
•Most fleas will be killed when dust in the vacuum bag blocks their breathing apparatus; but to be sure, you can vacuum up a tablespoon of cornstarch. The used vacuum bag should be disposed of immediately.
•Dispose of the filled vacuum bags by burning, composting or sealing in a plastic bag.
*Note:
In late summer and early fall, flea populations increase. Vacuuming on a regular basis throughout the year will keep developing flea populations low by picking up adult and egg-stage fleas.
Outdoors
Suggested Dilution:
1 or 2 oz of Kleen Green™ to 1 gallon of water (128 oz)
•Spray yards and crawl spaces with Kleen Green™ or salt water (but salt water will kill plants as well as fleas). Reapplication may be necessary after rainfall.
•Use a hose-end applicator and spray the yard with Kleen Green™ to control outside flea sources.
•Sprinkle baking soda, borax or gardener's lime in the yard. Reapplication may be necessary after rainfall.
*Note:
90% of opossums in urban Midwest areas are infected with fleas. Hot summer temperatures (especially when dry) normally prevent fleas from developing. Only shady and moist areas need to be sprayed.
Sarcoptic Mange
Facts about sarcoptic mange mites
•Sarcoptic mange is a common parasitic skin disease of dogs.
•Sarcoptic mange is caused by a mite that burrows just beneath the surface of the skin. It may also crawl around on the skin surface. This mite feeds on material in and on the skin.
•The sarcoptic mange mite is highly contagious between dogs. Exposure to a dog infested with this mite will likely lead to spread of the parasite.
•The presence of the sarcoptic mite causes severe itching. The dog will chew and scratch its skin constantly. This leads to the loss of large amounts of hair, especially on the legs and belly. Eventually, the skin will become thickened and will take on a darker pigmentation. Frequent scratching and rubbing often leads to secondary skin infections.
•Diagnosis is made by a skin scraping that is examined under the microscope. However, only a small number of mites may be present. Because of this, a dog may be strongly suspected of having sarcoptic mange but multiple skin scrapings are negative. A presumptive diagnosis can be made if the symptoms are typical.
•Age is not a significant factor in sarcoptic mange. Although most common in puppies, dogs of all ages are at risk.
•Although sarcoptic mange is usually a canine disease, the mites can infect cats too.
Non-toxic treatment for dogs, cats, puppies and kittens
Suggested Dilution:
1 oz of Kleen Green™ to 7 oz of water
•Bathing: Stand your pet in a large container or tub. Wet hair around neck and hind quarters first. Then soak the remainder of your pet's coat. Using a brush or your hands, gently massage Kleen Green™ as a shampoo over the entire body of your pet and leave on for approximately 3-5 minutes. Rinse completely with warm water. Take care to avoid eyes.
•Kleen Green™ may also be applied with a spray bottle to any affected area by spraying liberally. Allow coat to dry. No need to rinse.
*Note:
Kleen Green™ is safe to apply to puppies and kittens. As with all products, please use caution and avoid eye contact.
Prognosis
With appropriate therapy, the prognosis for recovery is excellent. Re-infestation from a contaminated environment or other dogs is possible. Sarcoptic mange is highly contagious to other dogs and can also be transmitted to humans. The dog's bedding should be discarded immediately. The mites are not able to complete their life cycle on humans. Therefore, the mites will die in a few days on a human without treatment. However, they will cause quite a bit of itching before they die.
Note about Kleen Free™:
In the above testimonials, occasionally a customer will refer to a product called
Kleen Free™. When Natural Ginesis began, it sold the product Kleen Free™. We have since created
a stronger, richer product called
Kleen Green™
. We do not carry the original product because the new product
has been shown to give better cleaning and pest removal results, but we kept the testimonials here for you
because our enzymes have made a difference in these customers' lives.

"I dipped my comb in Kleen Free and combed though my cat's fur. It was instant death to every flea! Whenever the enzyme touched the flea, they died. I'll never be without this product."
J.P. - North Carolina
"I have used your product, going on the 4th bath for my dogs, as a breeder and a groomer, I've never been so happy with a shampoo. I've tried every one of them on the market over the past 6 yrs. And if your dog has any kind of dandruff, this is the cure for it; the dog's hair is shiny and very soft. Thank you."
D. - Oregon
"I want everyone to know how wonderful your products are! My daughter's flea bites are all healed up and she doesn't have any itching anymore. Also the products have gotten rid of the fleas in the carpet so now my cat, daughter and I are flea free. Thanks again for your wonderful products!"
J.B. - Sacramento, California
"I wanted to write you a letter to let you know how completely satisfied I am with your Kleen Free cleaner. I had an animal that was living underneath the crawl space of my home, and as a result was having a major flea problem in one area of my home. I saw your cleaner on the internet, and might I say, skeptically, decided to give it a try. WOW, was I surprised at the amazing results.
I cannot express enough, what a completely wonderful and efficient product this cleaner is. As you stated, as soon as I spray this natural enzyme cleaner onto the flea, it started to affect the flea. Within 45 seconds, the fleas were dead. What also has amazed me about this product is that it has no odor, does not cause irritation to the skin, and works as a wonderful cleaner and solution to bathe my animals in. I gave four cats and our 100 lb. dog a bath in your product, and it killed the fleas on them instantly, along with leaving their coats shiny and soft.
I am a true believer and will be a long time customer and proponent of this product. I am extremely satisfied and thrilled. It did everything you claimed. Thank you again."
K.J. - North Carolina
"I'd been in contact with Cathee Mabry about your Kleen Free product(s), to rid my 3 cats and dog of the ever dreaded FLEA. I've kept animals all of my life and have NEVER, EVER had a problem with fleas. So you can only imagine just HOW creeped out I was when I discovered them on my 14 year old, strictly INDOOR Siamese cat! (I think that her 18 year old inside/outside "brother" brought them into the house). I could not use any of the commercial "foggers" because I also have pet birds. Plus, if you take the time to read the ingredients on those products it's pretty scary! No wonder they kill fleas...And just about anything else that comes into contact with it.
I placed my order for a 32 oz. concentrate and in lightening fast speed it arrived. I must confess to being a bit of a skeptic before trying it! Yet when I placed a live flea which I'd 'captured' off of my 12 week old kitten, in a small "puddle" of Kleen Free which I'd sprayed onto a countertop, the flea moved around for all of maybe 3 seconds and promptly died! I cannot say enough about this product! And for all of the skeptics out there, as I was, it's worth buying!
Before trying Kleen Free, I'd spent $120 for TWO months worth of a flea/tick product from my Vet ("Advantage") which says that within 12 hours 99 percent of live fleas on the animal will be killed. Ha!Ha!Ha!...Although I definitely wasn't laughing... 2 days after the application of the "Advantage" I was still finding 6-8 fleas per DAY on my kitten!
I sprayed a little Kleen Free into my hands, rubbed them together and then wiped the kitten and my 2 older cats down. Guess what?! NO MORE FLEAS! I sprayed the product directly onto my dog and he is also Flea-Free after only 1 application! KUDOS to Kleen Free!! From an EXTREMELY satisfied and FLEA-FREE customer! Thank You For Saving Me From The Almighty Dreaded FLEA!"
