My dog walked on floor cleaner. Is he safe? What should I do?

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered

i was going to walk charlie and the floor outside my apartment had been cleaned recently (regular detergent diluted in water) but before i could notice he was stepping on it. it wasn’t soaking wet just a bit slippery. i don’t think he licked it but he sniffed the floor so it might have touched is nose. i cleaned his paws as soon as we got home to make sure he wouldnt get any product. do you think he’ll be fine?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Charlie. I love all of your questions. I can tell how much you care about him! I recommend bathing his paws with Dawn dish soap. It is great for stripping off undesired products from a dog. I hope this information helps!
