Is it safe for my cat to walk on floor after sweeping Miracle-Gro?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

After planting plants in pots with Miracle gro moisture control indoor/outdoor soil, that feeds for upto six months then putting them outside or hanging them up. I swept the floor just as a precaution for any dirt laying around. But my question is can i let my cat walk around ((where I was even if there wasn't any dirt and if there was then it would've been swept up))without my cat getting sick or ingesting any micro things from the pre-fed dirt? Or do i need to mop the whole floor first?

Great job hanging up the plants so your cat can't get into them! Yes given that you have swept the floor, it's fine you let your cat walk around. You don't need to mop, especially since there wan't any dirt where you were :-)
