My cat walked on wet carpet cleaner. Is it toxic? Should I bathe her?

Question

Hello, I moved into a new apartment and the carpets were wet with carpet cleaner. There isn’t another room to put the cat. She’s been grooming herself and seems fine... is the carpet cleaner dangerous? Should I give her a bath immediately? Thanks. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Longhair | Female | spayed | 3 lbs

It can be irritating to the skin and irritating to the stomach if a lot is ingested, but wouldn't be toxic beyond that. You can just rinse the areas that had contact with the cleaner with normal water. Flush the area for a minute and continue to keep her off of the carpet until it dries and she should be fine. I hope that helps and all is well with Shibuya.
