In looking up this product, I believe that it is simply a saline solution used for piercing aftercare. If I am correct, then Rascal should be fine. The paper towel should pass through him without problem. If I haven't found the right product, I apologize, and if you could please post again with the ingredients of the cleaner, one of the experts could answer your question better :-)
