he pottied all over the floor so much, and i decided to clean the entire floor up with clorox bleach to kill odors, etc... is it safe for him to walk those floors after im done cleaning up? cause he loves to lick and sniff the floor...

I'm not 100% sure, but I would go over the floor again with some warm water after you have done the bleach job. Just to make sure there's not to much bleach residue on the floor....

Myth:
Liquid Bleach is highly toxic and bad for the environment.
Fact:
Liquid bleach starts as salt water and ends as salt water. When used in the laundry, virtually all the liquid bleach reacts and is converted back into salt water. What little reaction byproducts remain are effectively handled by waste water treatment. When used as directed, liquid bleach does not adversely affect the environment.

Cleaning your floor with bleach is fine. Just do not let him walk on the floor while it is still wet. The bleach as with human skin if you get it on you can burn your skin, it can burn your dogs pads.

Wait for the floor to dry before you allow any pet to walk on.

I have black granite tiles on my kitchen floor - the shiney kind. I have found that the swiffer wet cloths - orange scent - had been my best remedy for keeping the floor clean, shiney with no streaks and it's so easy to use. I read the "ingredients" and it's safe for pets after it dries. Hope this helps!
