Hi,
It is not a concentration high enough to harm a dog or a cat but it is in high enough concentrations that the fumes can effect the respiratory systems of birds.

Outlaw, this is from Swiffer.

A low order of toxicity

According to the Swiffer WetJet Material Safety Data Sheet, the product has "a low order of toxicity." It contains the following ingredients:

* Water (90% - 100%)
* Propylene Glycol n-Propyl Ether (1% - 4%)
* Isopropyl Alcohol (1% - 4%)
* Minor Ingredients (< 1%)
* Preservatives (< 0.1%)

Propylene glycol n-propyl ether is a solvent similar to, but much less toxic than, ethylene glycol, the antifreeze ingredient always cited as a hazard to pets and children. The Material Safety Data Sheet for propylene glycol, which is present in no greater than a 4% concentration in the Swiffer WetJet cleaning solution, states that the chemical has "low toxicity in animal studies" where ingested. It is also found in other household cleaning products.

Please remember that the respiratory systems are what we are considering with birds in many instances. Not the ingestion. When considering dangers to cats and dogs, they are concerned with ingestion , not breathing the vapors.

Thanks,
Bill
PS: It took more than 20 years for Dupont, the manufacturer of Teflon to admit that overjheating it can kill birds. You can't go by a manufacturers claims, you have to examine the ingredients. I always get the information from the source before I post it as true.
