The Dangers of Household Cleaners: A Special Warning to Pet Owners

There are cleaners that pose serious health issues to pets, particularly any cleaner or disinfectant that contains the word "sol", that is cleaners such as Lysol and Pine-sol. Also, floor cleaners such as Swiffer Wet Jet.  The culprit is the ingredient phenol, which in many cases may not even be listed on the label of such cleaners. This not only means the cleaners like the "traditional" pine-scented Pine-sol or Lysol cleaners, but even the pleasantly scented cleaners manufactured by the same companies, such as Pine-sol's choices of scents such as Lemon, Lavender, Sparkling Wave, and so forth. It should be noted that shelters, and pet rescuers have eliminated the use of such cleaners due to their toxicity to animals.
A chemical found in metal polishers, petroleum distillates, may cause short-term and long-term problems for your pet. In the short-term, your pet  may experience cloudiness in the eyes while long-term he or she may suffer kidney, skin, eye, and/or nervous system damage. The chemicals found in disinfectants, phenol and cresol, may cause kidney or liver damage, fainting, dizziness, and/or diarrhea.
Toilet bowl cleaners, if splashed on your pet's eye accidentally can cause blindness. If ingested toilet bowl
cleaners can cause stomach burns, diarrhea, and vomiting. These products may also burn your pet's skin.
Mothballs aren't even safe. The chemical naphthalene may damage your pet's nervous system, kidneys, skin, eyes, liver, and blood. Paradichlorobenzeme, another chemical in mothballs, is known to be harmful to your pet's kidneys, liver, and nervous system.
Windex, laundry detergent, and other products may have an extremely harmful effect on your pets.
