It's a lot of baloney
This hoax has been debunked by "Hoaxbusters" and other sites, HERE is Swiffers own statement on that rumor:
There is a false Internet rumor circulating rapidly among pet owners alleging that Swiffer® WetJet® may contain antifreeze and is harmful to pets. The Swiffer Wet® cloths and WetJet® liquid solution cleaners do not contain antifreeze or any ingredient similar to it. In fact, all Swiffer products are safe to use around pets.
We evaluated the Swiffer Wet cloths and WetJet cleaners to ensure they're safe—a fact confirmed by the ASPCA®, independent veterinarians, and scientists. In fact, for nearly five years, people in more than 15 million U.S. homes have safely used Swiffer products on everything from the kitchen and living room floors to tables and ceiling fans.
We have pets, too, and their health and well-being are very important to us. Please help us stop this rumor by sharing the truth with others. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
PS...I love dogs and would NEVER want to see them hurt!

There is no truth to the "swifter" poisioning issue.This is something that has gone around for the past couple of years. It has been deemed a hoax. Kidney failure is most often caused by a diet to high in protein, insufficient water intake, hereditary .

That article is false. Swiffer mops pose no threat to your pets. Check out the source link for further explanation, but your dog is not sick because of the mop.

My brother told me the same thing but I found this on the internet -- I haven't read it closely to see if it was put out by the Clorox company.

Absolutely true!
Swiffer products should never be used in a houehold with animals (birds, cats, dogs, etc) as there have been many reported deaths from this product!
While we're on it, teflon coated cookware is also not to be used in homes with birds! :)

It is safe to use. That is an urban legend.
