I don't agree with that. My dogs used to vomit after licking their paws. After I read through the chemicals in Swiffer and in antifreeze (chemical composition) I found that it was not a good product to have around.

I switched to Vinegar/water and the vomitting stopped. They still, periodically, throw up a little bile, but that is due to their acid reflux/short esophageal tube to stomach.

I know everything we read or hear is not necessarily true - it takes everyone to do their own tests and research to feel good about their choices. I'm very happy with my decision!

I'm glad your dogs don't react like mine did! Perhaps it could have been my dogs.

I use vinegar and water for many types of cleaning and my steam mop on the floors

and I don't even have a dog anymore

I want a Bissell Steam Mop...Do you really like it. Does it have alot of parts. I have this vaccum that has too many parts. I like to keep it simple...

I wish mine was a Bissell and I think someone on here can tell you more about the Bissell. I have the Shark and I like the shape of the mop portion since it is in the shape of a triangle and gets in corners so nicely. Hope it holds up, so far I love it.

Funny everything I see now has a mop in the shape of a rectangle

Mine was an older model on sale!

I have the Bissell steam mop and it has just a few parts. The washable pads and the water reservoir. So simple to use and I save so much money on mop solution. I highly recommend it.
