If you decide to blanch then for use in salads, decide you are going
to dry the roots in the autumn as a chickory/coffee substitute and
make dandelion flower wine, then they will just vanish if Sods law has
anything to do with it

Use young leaves fresh.

Seriously though, as "R" suggested, a broadleaf weedkiller should do the
trick. Or combined in a weed-and-feed on the "lawn".

Buy a Bearded Dragon, they love the flowers! We can't get enough of them.
Plus the young leaves are splendid in salads.

I can't believe you want rid of them. They are one of our favourite
plants...

Here, in Calgary, they are considered a pest. The grass dies back in winter
so the dandelions have a head start in spring and proliferate. If you have
a lot (and you soon will if you don't use 2-4-D regularly) and allow them to
seed, the city council, following complaints by neighbours, will come and
cut your lawn and charge you handsomely!

Yup! But only for dandelions! You should see how they take over a piece of
wasteland here and then you would understand people's feelings about them.
I suppose that with your mild winters, the grass can keep them under
control. Here, grass dies back in winter and by the time it gets going, the
dds have already flowered and gone to seed.
BTW, if you don't clear the snow from the footpath in front of your house
within 24 hours of a snowfall, the city will do it and charge you - but
that's a safety issue.
