Swiffer Wetjet - Is it hazardous to my pets?

This subject was brought up to me from an email that one of our home owners received. With all emails that warn us of hazards I research before sending on further. Here is the results that I found about this urban legend.

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 (less then 1%)
* Preservatives (less then 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.

The ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center has stated the following: "Propylene glycol n-propyl ether and propylene glycol n-butyl ether are very safe ingredients at levels used in cleaning products and do not cause kidney or liver failure."

Thank you very much for bring this to our attention. We welcome all information like this to better service you our customers. It is very hard to catch all warning and recalls. Please help keep us informed as we will you.

Can we help you?

I hear allot of things from home owners. The two biggest things have been, "It seems that all I do is work" and "We can't afford a cleaning service," let's take a look at this.

Most cleaning services wants you to sign up for a weekly cleaning, not us. For home owners we can do a weekly cleaning which saves you time or a bi-weekly cleaning which can save you time and money, that takes care of both problems. One of our clients told us, "I just love having you clean, it frees up time and best of all I don't have to do it." We don't go over a bi-weekly cleaning because then it ends up costing you more. Usually the first cleaning is a little costly but then the price comes down.

The other big thing we hear is, "I don't have a cleaning service because of how dirty our house looks." Would you like to have more people over but the condition of your home stops you. When you use our service only you need to know, we would love for you to spread the word for two reasons. First you get a discount, second what you tell others can help our business grow.
