Is Bathroom & Shower Cleaner safe to use around pets?Updated a day ago

For most pets, yes. Bathroom & Shower Cleaner is formulated without the chemistries most commonly flagged for animals: no synthetic fragrances, no chlorine bleach, no strong acids, no aerosol propellants. It's Sensitive Choice approved by the National Asthma Council Australia, Dermatest tested, and recognised by the Eczema Association of Australasia. Every pet has a unique biological makeup though, so Koh can't guarantee compatibility with every animal. If your pet has known chemical sensitivities, check with your vet before introducing a new cleaner into the home.

Pets live closer to cleaned surfaces than humans do (floors, skirtings, bathtubs, basins) and groom themselves by licking. Residue from cleaning products matters more for them than for us. Bathroom & Shower Cleaner rinses cleanly, doesn't leave perfumed residue, and its independent certifications (Sensitive Choice, Dermatest, Eczema Association of Australasia) screen against ingredients most commonly flagged for respiratory and sensitivity triggers. That combination makes it a more considered option than conventional bathroom cleaners in homes with dogs, cats, rabbits, or birds. It is not a pet-product though, so don't use it on bowls, chew toys, or directly on pets.

Keep pets out of the bathroom while you're cleaning. Rinse surfaces thoroughly with water after cleaning. Let everything dry fully before letting pets back in. Birds are especially sensitive to airborne cleaning particulate, so move cages well away from the room during cleaning and for at least an hour afterwards. For any pet with known respiratory or skin sensitivities, check with your vet before introducing a new cleaner into the home.

If your pet licks or touches a surface that hasn't fully dried, rinse the affected area with plenty of water and wipe the pet's paw, face, or coat with a damp cloth. If your pet ingests any product directly or shows signs of irritation (excessive drooling, vomiting, coughing, skin redness), contact your vet or the 24/7 Animal Poisons Helpline on 1300 869 738 for advice. Keep the box handy so you can read the ingredient list if asked.
