I'm not sure if this have ever been mentioned on this forum before, or if it's even true, but I'm not taking any chances
Toxic Cleaning Solution: BEWARE of Swiffer Wetjet
Yahoo! Mail - : "I recently had a neighbor who had their 5-year old German shepherd dog*
put down due to liver failure. The dog was completely healthy until a*
few weeks ago. They had a necropsy done to see what the cause was. The*
liver levels were unbelievable, as if the dog had ingested poison of*
some kind. The dog is kept inside, and when he's outside, someone's*
with him, so the idea of him getting into something unknown was hard*
to believe.My neighbor started going through all the items in the*
house. When he got to the Swiffer Wetjet, he noticed, in very tiny*
print, a warning which stated 'may be harmful to small children and*
animals.' He called the company to ask what the contents of the*
cleaning agent are and was astounded to find out that antifreeze is*
one of the ingredients. (Actually he was told it's a compound which*
is one molecule away from antifreeze). Therefore, just by the dog*
walking on the floor cleaned with the solution, then licking its own*
paws, it ingested*
enough of the solution to destroy its liver. Soon after his dog's*
death, his housekeepers' two cats also died of liver failure. They*
both used the Swiffer Wetjet for quick cleanups on their floors."*
--since bulldogs are so allergy prone, no harsh chemicals*
should ever be used around the house*
