Attention Pet Owners: Is Your Floor Cleaner Harming Your Pet?

You love your pet. And your pet loves you back!

You take a lot of effort to ensure that your home is safe for your pet. You get the best food for your pet too.

But have you wondered what are the harmful effects of the floor cleaners you use on your floor?

“My dog has to be kept out of the house when we mop the floor with a phenyl or a conventional floor cleaner. He just can’t stand the smell!”, says Mithila, proud owner of a labrador in Navi Mumbai.

Did you know? Most conventional floor cleaners have the following key ingredient:

Benzalkonium Chloride

“Benzalkonium chloride has repeatedly demonstrated its toxic characteristics in laboratory, experimental, and clinical studies. This compound is known to cause extensive damage to the eyes, such as tear film instability, loss of goblet cells, conjunctival squamous metaplasia, apoptosis, damage to deeper ocular tissues, and disruption of the corneal epithelium barrier.”
