Just Learnt that Dettol, or specifically phenol, is toxic to cats. But when I read the ingredients list on the dettol wipes I don't see anything ( I recognise) as phenol related.

Does that mean I cannot use Dettol wipes, spray and floor cleaners around the home anymore? If so, what are the safe brands to use for wipes, kitchen surface cleaners and floor cleaners please?

TIA

Keep puss out of the room until the surface has fully dried. I was our carpets in dettol and have 2 cats. No harm has come to them as I keep them off the treated area until it is dry.
