Title: Washing detergant & Plants
Post by: lisa77 on September 20, 2007, 16:18:33 PM
Bit of a strange one.. I bought Leo a few fleeces' & they smelt awful so I washed them ready for saturday to put 1 in his carrier. As soon as I got it out the washer I realised that the detergant smell may be toxic ? I use bold 2 in 1 & as there isnt enough sofntner I also use Lanor sleep easy softner.. will this be OK ? I dont want him to get ill before I even get him home !!!

Also I have 2 Yucca plants in the flat.. I know some plants are toxic to puddy's I have checked online & as far as I can see Yucca plants are fine but just wanted to check with you guys as I can trust you !

There will probably be another 100 urgent questions before Leo's collection on saturday - I hope you don't mind - I just want everythng to be purfect !

Thanks - (Again!!)  :)

That's what I wash all my cats stuff in as well and it's never caused a problem.

I think Yuccas are ok although I don't know if some types are ok and others not. I think some cat foods even put yucca in as an ingredient and it never did Suzy (one of my childhood cats) any harm as she managed to eat a whole yucca plant that sat on top of the microwave over a number of years.

you should be fine, I've heard of problems with washing powder don't know about plants I think you can get a list off the FAB website - I won't be around on Saturday or Sunday, I'd love to hear all the news!

A skin reaction would be the most likely thing to happen if something was to go wrong. So dont worry!
