I will add that you MUST wash all dog beds & blankets at the same time you are doing everything else... and I really mean at the SAME time, not the next day. Treatment usually takes at least 2x to kill all adult fleas, then 2 weeks alter to catch fleas that were still in the eggs during the first treatment.

Sprinkle boric acid powder into carpets and let it sit for a while before vacuuming. It is cheap, sold in the stores in the laundry section. Non-toxic.

I use Trifexis, the HW + flea protection monthly pill. Works pretty well for us and I have one or two new dogs in my home from shelters every month!
