Question

Which cleaning agents are considered to be such that they render food unfit for consumption even by a dog (i.e., not fit for a dog to eat)? How can one know whether the cleaning products I have at home really render the food unfit for a dog or not? And is it not correct to say that all cleaning agents render food unfit for a dog, since none of them are suitable for eating?

Answer

Shalom u’vracha. 

Any cleaning agent that is not especially mild renders the food unfit for consumption by a dog. 

There are mild cleaning agents, such as soap used for soaking fruits, which do not spoil the food.
