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

Clorox 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 CLOROX 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 CLOROX around pets (or children)! Do not use Ultra Clorox 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 hypochloride (simple bleach), with additional chemicals.
