🐾 Pet-safe first: skip diffusing oils around animals. Check with your vet before you spritz.

We love our furry (and feathered) housemates, so their safety comes first. Certain essential-oil compounds, like tea-tree and some citrus oils, can irritate animals in ways that don&#x2019;t affect humans.<p><br></p><h2 id="our-current-guidance">Our current guidance</h2><ul><li><strong>No diffusing or misting</strong> around pets. Keep sprays and diffusers out of rooms where cats, dogs or small animals spend time.</li><li><strong>Ventilation matters.</strong> Oils linger in soft furnishings. Air out the space thoroughly before letting pets back in.</li><li><strong>Spills?</strong> Wipe up straight away and rinse the area with mild soap and plenty of water.</li><li><strong>Ask a vet first.</strong> Every species (and breed) has different tolerances. Your vet can confirm what&#x2019;s safe for your household.</li></ul><p class="footnote">If you notice your pet sneezing, drooling or acting unusually after exposure to any scent, ventilate the area and consult your veterinarian immediately.</p>

Are Essential Oils safe around pets?

Add aroma in a flash: 💧 10-drop cloth, 3-drop spray. Skip citrus in foamers 🚫🍋

<p><strong>TL;DR</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Laundry - Sensitive Laundry Liquid/Sheets:</strong> Add ~10 drops of 100% pure essential oil to the fabric softener dispenser for a late-cycle scent boost.</li><li><strong>Universal Cleaner - Atomiser / Spray Mop:</strong> 2-3 drops per full bottle/tank; swirl gently.</li><li><strong>Bathroom &amp; Shower Cleaner and Kitchen Grease &amp; Oil Cleaner (Foaming Spray Bottle):</strong> 2-3 drops max, <em>no citrus oils</em> (they can shorten foamer life).</li><li><strong>General rule:</strong> avoid thick resinous oils, less is more; extra oil clogs valves, not cleans better.</li><li><strong>Fragrance-free option:</strong> skip the oils; products still work exactly the same.</li></ul><hr><h2 id="sensitive-laundry-liquidsheets"><a href="https://koh.com/products/sensitive-laundry-liquid">Sensitive Laundry Liquid</a>/<a href="https://koh.com/products/laundry-sheets" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Sheets</a></h2><p>Add &#x2248; 10 drops of your favourite 100% pure essential oil (e.g. lavender, eucalyptus) to the fabric softener dispenser (leave the machine&#x2019;s softener setting on). This releases the scent later in the cycle, so it&#x2019;s less likely to rinse away early. Skip fabric softener; our fragrance-free formula keeps fibres soft on its own.</p><h2 id="universal-cleaner-in-atomiser-spray-bottlespray-mop"><a href="https://koh.com/products/universal-cleaner-2l">Universal Cleaner</a> in <a href="https://koh.com/products/atomiser-spray-bottle">Atomiser Spray Bottle</a>/<a href="https://koh.com/products/spray-mop">Spray Mop</a></h2><p>For a subtle scent boost, mix up to 2 or 3 drops of essential oil per full 300 ml <a href="https://koh.com/products/atomiser-spray-bottle" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Atomiser Spray Bottle</a> or <a href="https://koh.com/products/spray-mop" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Spray Mop</a> tank. Swirl gently to disperse, vigorous shaking isn&#x2019;t needed.

Resinous or thick oils also raise clog-risk, so go light or skip them.</p><h2 id="essential-oil-best-practices">Essential-Oil Best Practices</h2><ol><li>Start with fragrance-free product for a clean scent slate.</li><li>Add oils fresh each refill-aromas fade in storage.</li><li>Spot-test on delicate fabrics or sealed stone if uncertain.</li><li>Store oils in a cool, dark place and keep cap clean to prevent contamination.</li></ol><p class="footnote">Prefer zero scent? Simply leave the oils out, Koh formulas perform flawlessly without them.</p>
