? Leave on hair for 10 minutes but no longer. Rinse with water.
? A single application is usually sufficient. If live lice are observed seven days or more after the first application of this product, a second treatment should be given.

? Personal articles of clothing or bedding that cannot be washed may be dry-cleaned, sealed in a plastic bag for a period of about 2 weeks, or sprayed with a product specifically designed for this purpose.
? Personal combs and brushes may be disinfected by soaking in hot water (above 130F) for 5 to 10 minutes.
Thorough vacuuming of rooms inhabited by infected patients is recommended.
