Have you noticed that Clorax has changed? It's now Ultra Clorax and should be avoided at all costs.

Clorax Bleach, long a favorite with pet owners/animal workers-businesses for its simple chlorite (5.25% sodium hypochlorite with "inert ingredients"-water) changed its formulation. New CLORAX ULTRA is sodium hypochlorite & sodium hydroxide. Sodium hydroxide is LYE. Lye was added to make bleach work faster. While lye is used in making basic soaps, it is also very difficult to rinse off surfaces.

DO NOT USE ULTRA CLORAX around pets (or children)! Do not use Ultra Clorax to disinfect floors, kennel runs, carriers/crates, litter boxes or feeding/water dishes! Because felines groom their paws, it is dangerous to cats. This is a warning to ALWAYS check labels on any "new & improved" product labels. (Safeway brand Ultra Bleach DOES NOT contain any lye & is simply a stronger version of sodium hypochlorite (simple bleach), with additional chemicals.

Regular clorax can still be used for floors, counter areas, laundry, dishwasher, etc. with no problems as I always let it dry before pets are allowed access to the cleaned areas.
