Here's why:
* Harsh Chemicals: Ajax soap contains strong chemicals that are designed to clean surfaces, not for delicate animal skin. These chemicals can cause severe irritation, dryness, and even chemical burns.
* Toxicity: Some ingredients in dish soap can be toxic if ingested by animals.
* Sensitivity: Kittens have very sensitive skin that is easily irritated. Using harsh soaps can lead to skin problems like dermatitis and infections.
Instead of using Ajax, you can:
* Use a pet-specific shampoo: Look for shampoos designed for kittens and puppies. These are gentle and formulated to be safe for their delicate skin.
* Wipe down with a damp cloth: If your kitten is just a little dirty, a damp cloth can be sufficient to clean them.
Always consult a veterinarian if you have any questions about cleaning your kitten.
