What floor cleaners are safe for my puppy? Are Dettol or Lizol okay?

Most common household cleaners are safe when diluted according to the instructions. For example, properly diluted PineSol - if Lucy drank straight from the mop bucket, she would likely have vomiting and diarrhea, but it is unlikely to be fatal. So if you keep her out of the mop bucket and attempt to keep her away from the floors until they are dry, you should be fine!

As long as the floor has thoroughly dried before Rhett hops on it, it should be fine. If you are concerned about him coming into contact or licking it off his paws, a pet wipe or baby wipe can be used on his feet after walking on any wet spots on the floor to remove any from his feet.

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!

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.

Savlon would not be recommend since it may cause stomach upset if licked and ingested. Dettol can be used if diluted. You must not allow Pavi to lick the area washed though. Thoroughly rinse after bathing and use an e-collar (cone) to prevent licking or chewing. ideally, she should be physically examined by your veterinarian for diagnosis and treatment of any wounds or infection.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Charlie. I love all of your questions. I can tell how much you care about him! I recommend bathing his paws with Dawn dish soap. It is great for stripping off undesired products from a dog. I hope this information helps!

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.
