Can I use Dettol to mop the floor? I was asked to stop using luzol and start using a pet friendly floor cleaner. But then the doctors further asked me to stop using that aswell. And mop the floor with just water. But I have aged parents at home and hygiene is imp for them ...

Hi Latha. If you have ever observed allergic reactions in your pet to these products, it’s advisable to discontinue the usage. Pet friendly floor cleaners come with almost negligible allergic reactions and hence can be used (at least in lesser quantities than usual).

Am aware. If u see my post, vet advised mg to stop using pet friendly floor cleaner also
Dr. Tajunnisa M
Did your pet show any reaction post usage ?

Yes rashes and redness on her tummy and pawd
Dr. Tajunnisa M
Then it’s advisable not to use it instead go for mopping using hot water. But make sure you use semi automatic/spin mops.

Ok... But that does not solve my issue. Considering my parents age and health concern, doctor recommends using a floor cleaner/ disinfectant. Hence I started this chat to find out if I could use dettol
Dr. Tajunnisa M
No. I don’t recommend for dettol. Use savlon in very small quantities instead. Make sure the floor is dry completely before you leave your pet on it.
