The fluid contains a small amount of antifreeze type liquid which, in small amounts, is toxic. Swiffer claims that it is a very small percentage of the total volume. However - my friend said that the other ingredients (e.g. alcohol) will evaporate quickly leaving a higher concentration that can be absorbed through wet paws as well as licked. He states that it is "moderately toxic" and would not use it.
Thanks for the info! I was thinking about getting one to deal with muddy doggie prints in the kitchen - I'm SO glad you told us!!
