If your pets come into contact with freshly cleaned surfaces mopped with Mr. Clean, it's generally advisable to take precautions to ensure their safety, especially if they tend to lick their paws. While Mr. Clean is not highly toxic, it can cause mild irritation or upset if ingested.
- Monitor pets for signs of irritation, such as drooling or vomiting.
- Allow the floor to dry completely before letting pets walk on it.
- Rinse the mopped area with water to remove any soap residue if concerned.
- Provide fresh water to encourage hydration in case of accidental ingestion.
Paws and mucous membranes are very sensitive, and pets licking their paws after contact with cleaning products can lead to mild irritation. Ensuring the floor is dry and free of any residue will reduce this risk. Always supervise your pets after cleaning to spot any unusual behavior.
For peace of mind or if you notice concerning symptoms, consider booking a consultation with Dial A Vet.
