    I would not take any chances && keep on using your HotWater & Vinagar.. That would be the safest..

    Im not saying i ever used the cleaner,my mother in law was with me when i bought it and called me right after she got back from the vets and told me what happend with the man and his pets.I stay away from any cleaners i have always used either vinagar and lemon juice.

    I was more making a post for anyone on here that may use a swiffer to be careful.

    I just posted the info about snopes as a general statement, so that anyone can read it and make their own decisions. I use Swiffer and have never had any issues, however I do make sure the floor is completely dry before any of the critters walk on it.

    I just don't clean my floors. (just kidding!)
    I actually use the Hoover floor cleaner machine. I think I'll check out the label on the cleaner and see what it says. But I usually don't allow pets or boyfriend on the floor until it is dry. Or I walk around with a towel to dry it faster.

    That is very sad about that mans pets.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I have heard this. When Kaysha came to California with me, the one thing the vets there asked was, was she around any cleaners for the floors, swiffers, any store bought floor cleaner. She was so sick! They were surprised she made it They said the only explanation is; there is none since the only thing i couldn't answer was were the floors cleaned. Obviously its bad to say it was a swiffer but it didn't help they had one... I have heard it elsewhere but like somebody said there is no proof so I don't want to be a finger pointer. Just thought I would add I heard it too

    I did not make the thread for a debate or to point fingers,i thought it was a helpful hint that you really do have to be careful on what household products you use,Not only for your pets but also your children.the way i look at it back when all people would use is vinegar or lemon juice to wash there floors,Look at today with all the cancers and such its all the poisons that we are surrounded buy that are doing these things.
