Jeyes fluid

[fishfish 17]

last year there was reports about jeyes changing their ingredients and that now it was highly toxic for ferrets,does anyone know about this?

I have always been led to believe that any disinfectant that goes white when its added to water is not to be used to clean there homes , something about phenol , i think this was discussed last year on here , i would use a bowl of hot soapy water & a scrubbing brush

 

This data sheet is a bit old but it seems to say its toxic if ingested

Not that stuff that smells like bubblegum is it, you squeeze it up the plastic bottle & an amount goes into to a seperate measure thing

thats the stuff kay, could sniff that all day, infact, we use a deodour type gel in work, that gets rid of the smell of dead rodents, that smells of cherry bubblegum, quite a few bottles of the stuff, found its way into my shed,

I must admit i have used the stuff in the past & your right about the smell but another good one is Virkon i could at one time get powder & just used to dilute it

[Kay 3,709]

The only thing i can find is a ready diluted version of the jeyes fluid which is simply as far as i can make out ready diluted version of the stuff in a tin , it did say it can be used to clean kennels etc

 

I cant find a seperate COSHH sheet for the ready diluted stuff so can only assume its covered by the sheet for the undiluted stuff, but its not finding its way in my house diluted or not .

Jeyes fluids changed it doesn't smell so strong now or change colour I use it let the huts dry right out then pop the ferrets back in never had a problem

Use this stuff called selsan pink colour like a thick custard . Have it at work animal friendly and kill`s every bacteria and it has a deodariser in it. Great for everything court`s ,hutche`s,kennel`s needless to say a few bottle`s ended up at mine cheer`s FV
