Thread: Does anyone own the swiffer wetjet?

That is good to know. Because I have really wanted one. I did wonder why that would be different than any other cleaning product.

Ok , I don't know how to print links on here. But I went to snoopes for the swifter mop. It said the story is false. But it showed what I had read. Said the dog walked on the floor then licked his paws, and it killed him. Said it has something in it like anti-freeze. Check it out. But snoopes did say that it is FALSE

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.

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."

I've always wanted one, but we have stone look porceline tile in the kitchen and the grooves have to be hand scrubbed.

Patchouli, watch the little guy and the magic eraser, make sure he doesn't scrub himself with it. My oldest daughter got some blue hair dye on her finger and tried to use it to clean it off and got a chemical burn.

Sorry about your DD. Awhile back, mine used a cleaning rag I had under the sink that had bleach on it and got a burn too.

LOL she's 17, so you never can tell... I didn't think she'd try to wash a stain off her skin, or I would have specifically told her not to.

Nah, she just acts younger

OMG I don't even want to think of Holli out on her own. Were you really freaked about it at first?

OK done with the hijack

Same here. I've had mine since they first came out too and I love it. No problems with leaking.

Don't know if you can use the dry ones on it, either.
