Foam Gun / Cannon soap safety question.

So I'm all set to give the car a nice soapy bath with my Foam Gun. I start reading up on the info on the DP Xtreme Foam Formula which I have used before and I became quite concerned. This stuff is a bit scary if you are letting it run down the driveway into the storm drain. My main concern would be folks out walking their dog and the pooch lapping up some of the soap.

The info - "Caution. Keep out of reach of children. Harmful if swallowed. Seek medical attention immediately. Aviod contact with eyes. If eye contact occurs, flush with clean water for 15 minutes and consult a physician."

This stuff was recommended by unnamed posters and I really like how it works. It's just my concern for unsuspecting woofers.

So, is there any safer or biodegradable products I might want to look at switching to, or this an across the board characteristic of these products?

Thanks for any feedback.

There is a big difference bewteen concentrated in the bottle and diluted running down the driveway. Just hose off thoroughly.

Yeah, or just wash the vehicle on the grass. I know optimum car wash is biodegradable, so you can get that and washing on the grass with it won't cause any problems.
