Alkyl Dimethyl Benzyl Ammonium Chloride (BAC) is the top active ingredient in most brand-name and store-brand disinfecting wipes and sprays, likely due to its effectiveness and high margin of safety when used properly. In general, cats are at higher risk of this level of ingestion than dogs due to their grooming habits. Non-Chlorine or "Color-Safe" Bleach Less toxic than regular bleach, non-chlorine bleach usually contains hydrogen peroxide, which can cause vomiting if ingested. Ingestion in large quantities of BAC can result in bloody diarrhea, seizures, collapse and coma, however if used properly it has a high margin of safety.
