Dr. Bronner's soap safe to use AROUND cats?

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
I like to be as 'green' as possible, and have been cleaning around the house with baking soda, vinegar and water for as long as I can remember. I feel good about the natural aspects of my cleaning regimen, but must admit that I feel I could do better with a little boost of soap. Oh okay, I just miss the clean smell! (yeah, I know 'clean' has no smell... but I like things to smell purty! )

I've been interested in trying Dr. Bronner's Pure Castile Liquid soaps for household cleaning, laundry, etc. for some time now, but remain firmly perched atop the fence about it because I know Doc Bronner's soaps contain essential oils (at least the ones I want to try: peppermint/almond/lavender), and essential oils are toxic to our little fuzzies, both topically and through ingestion or inhalation.

I would never apply any of these soaps directly to my cats (they never get baths anyway), but I'm wondering if they are safe to use around the house if used properly (i.e. HIGHLY diluted).

Anyone here use Dr. Bronner's? What do you think?

I have used it on everything from me to the cat box to the floor to my dog... DO NOT use the Tea tree one around cats.. I found the unscented one IMHO would be best , I use it alot

Awesome. Thanks Sharky. I'm excited to try it... love multi-tasking products!

As an aside (and not at all cat related), have you ever used it for laundry? I'd like to try the lavender to wash clothes, I've heard good things!

No but I keep the lavender for showers before bed .. I will have to look into that as local stores have the gallons and that may be cheaper than natural laundry soap
