Is Cif Power and Shine a safe cleaning product for homes with pets?

They should be safe - any might have trace essential oils in them but I wouldn't have any concerns around pets. If a wipe was ingested it could potentially cause problems, but the residue the wipes leave should be fine.

Hello there. Once this product is dry there really should be no issues. Also, the detergents and glycols in this product are of very low toxicity especially when diluted with water. I personally would not worry about using this product especially when diluted. I wouldn't want her drinking it out of the bucket but just walking on the floor once dry, there is really no chance of harm. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

Most household cleaning products are fine to use around your cat. There is no serious harm here if you are using products and then allowing them to airdry. The main concern is that some aerosolized cleaning products can cause irritation of your cats airway in some cases. However, most of these products will also cause you discomfort as well, so use your best judgement here. In most situations if you can handle exposure to the product, then so can your pet. As far as ingesting products go, you just have to make sure not to leave out any buckets of cleaner that your cat could potentially get into, and you are basically covered here as well. If you are still a bit worried about your pet, you can also switch all your household products to more organic cleaning products such as Green Works or the Mrs. Meyers products, which are derived from 98% natural products. I hope that this helps! Best of luck with your kitty and safe cleaning practices. Take care.

I think this would be dilute enough that there wouldn’t be much concern. Cats with respiratory disease can be sensitive to oils ina diffuser, and both dogs and cats are very sensitive to topical essential oils.

I would not recommend using essential oils, cats are very sensitive to them and certain ones are highly toxic. I will be honest, I don't use a special cleaner in my home as a vet. I just don't let my animals into the clean area until it's completely dried, and I have never had an issue. Brands I use in New Zealand are likely different from ones you can get in the US, but even the cleaners you get at the grocery store are safe to use around your cat. Just don't let George in the area until it's completely dried. I hope this helps!

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! You can use Flash to clean the floor but do not allow Patch on the floor until it has dried and do not allow him access to the bucket or the bottle. Put all cleaning supplies away after using. I hope this helps and have a great day!

I would suspect the citrus oil could be irritating to a cats upper respiratory tract. With sensitive animals around using a vinegar and water solution is always a safe bet. Another suggestion would be to keep Melcho in a different area of the house while cleaning and allow him back in once everything has dried and the fumes have mostly dissipated. A bit depends on what type of allergic reaction he was having, if it's respiratory you want to avoid compounds with strong perfumes or fumes. Cats seem particularly sensitive to the Pine-Sol and Lysol type products. If it was more of a contact reaction to touching the cleaners then typically waiting till the area is completely dry may be safe. But in general vinegar and water solutions are very safe to use around cats and you should not need to remove him from the area you're working in.
