The cleaners that are safe to use around dogs are Pine Sol, vinegar, baking soda, lemon juice, fabuloso hydrogen peroxide and essential oils.

The best floor cleaner for pets is vinegar and baking soda which can be used together or by themselves.

Other best and safe floor cleaners for pets are Aunt Fannie's Vinegar Wash Floor Cleaner, Bona Pet System Multi Surface Floor Cleaner spray, Nature's Miracle Dual Action Hard Floor Stain and Odor Remove and Clorox EcoClean All Purpose cleaner.

Pine Sol is also safe as a floor cleaner for other pets and dogs once it dries.

Pine Sol is safe for dogs after it dries.

Once the Pine Sol has dried it is safe for the dog, cat or other pet to be around it even if they lick the floor or surface.

When still wet the Pine Sol can cause issues and even poisoning in dogs and other pets if they lick it or ingest it.

If a dog, cat or other animal licks or ingests Pine Sol they can get pine oil poisoning.

Pine oil poisoning can lead to failure of the nervous system, kidney and liver damage, respiratory failure, and death in a very short time.

Pine Oil is a common household cleaner and disinfectant that is toxic to dogs, even in small amounts.

The Pine Sol is toxic to dogs and cats and other pets but it takes a lot of the Pine Sol to cause toxic effects and the toxic effects are usually limited to vomiting and diarrhea.

Pine Sol consists of two agents, propylene glycol and benzoic acid, that are instrumental in eliminating stains and odors while knocking out bacteria and mold.

Therefore, if you're looking to do a deep clean, you can use undiluted Pine-Sol to utilize its full strength.

Also many liquid potpourri products and essential oils, including oil of cinnamon, citrus, pennyroyal, peppermint, pine, sweet birch, tea tree (melaleuca), wintergreen, and ylang ylang, are poisonous to dogs.

Both ingestion and skin exposure can be toxic.

Pine-Sol can be used to clean pet areas, eliminate odors, and keep your home fresh and welcoming for your pets.
