I've always used PAWSAFE but PetSmart no longer sells it. Found it on Amazon. I have also used Greenworks but can't find it in the stores near my new home in Kentucky. In fact I can't find many green products here.
I am slowly changing over to the Method products for cleaning. I use the mint bathroom cleaners. It is a bit strong for my asthma, but, I feel they are one of the safest out there.
I use the Method Squirt & Mop All Purpose Floor in the lemon and ginger scent. I dilute it a lot, even though it says it's non-toxic and use it sparingly. I haven't had a problem yet, but I try to clean my tile flooring with some dish soap diluted with water before resorting to the floor cleaner. I tried to use vinegar, but neither I nor my cats could stand the smell. They refused to get anywhere near the floors for days even after I wet mopped with water a few times over. They seem to have much fewer issues with the Method cleaner though.
The steamer is good on tile. I wouldn't trust it on the laminate flooring. You might try calling a place that sells/installs laminate flooring to ask.I came here looking for an alternative after using swiffer and instantly regretting it. I'm usually so mindful, but was lured in by the convenience. The smell is bothering me, so I can imagine my poor furbaby (am now airing out my house). I wiped his paws with cat safe wipes afterwards, bc like one posters cat, mine is also too curious to stay away. I have mainly laminate flooring and a few areas of tile. I'm interested in steaming as a few of you have mentioned, but am not sure if it'll damage my flooring?
I also wanted to comment on the essential oils. When we use toxic chemicals we know they're harmful and use caution, but with oils there's the false mindset that bc they're natural they must be safe. Unfortunately most are extremely toxic to our pets, even when diffused in the air.
Below are some examples, not even all--that are toxic to cats.
