cleaning product safe?

I am needing to dust my house for the first time since I got my bird. I have a product, Method brand wood duster. Does anyone know if it is safe? It says non-toxic and naturally derived, but I still don't know if the fumes will harm Wally. Has anyone used this product or heard anything about it?

I would say no, I'm pretty sure it not safe.
Here on site: Pet Focus Disinfectant and Cleaner

I know simple green okay to use, and here I got this passage off another site. Howard Naturals wood cleaner but, if the wood has not been treated with some kind of sealer (like polyurethane or varnish or lacquer) a little lemon oil or linseed oil (which is another name for the oil from flax seeds, which we feed to our birds!) works just great.

I personally use the cage cleaner to do a lot of cleaning around the house. Its natural orange oil so its bird safe and smells good.
