Okay, this is a little strange...I use vanodine to clean Merlins cage every day with a paper towel. We got these new paper towels and when I pour the vanodine on the towel it turns the towel purple. Is it still safe? It's normal color in the bottle.

Thanks for your help!

I also use Vanodine to clean and it has never turned my paper towels purple. What kind of paper towels are you using? Maybe there's a chemical on them that's interacting with the Vanodine.

They're lint free Marcal. I had the same chemical reaction thought.

I just cleaned a toy in my kitchen sink. It too turned it purple... Tho it wiped right off with water running on it.
I never had this before with Vanodine. I ordered it from the same place you did. Karen how long ago did you get yours? maybe its something they just added?

Sally are you diluting it? mine turned purple right out of the container when I spilled it in the sink.

Maybe 8 weeks ago?? I just mixed a new bottle on Sunday and I always spill some into the sink when I do it, no purple here.

I diluted it like you told me, with the ivory soap too. It's the normal color after I diluted it but when I poured it on the towel it turned the towel purple.
Could it be bleach that makes it turn purple??? I had another brand paper towel and it was okay, it's just the Marcal towels so far.

Very strange I tell ya!!!

Well, I do bleach my sinks...so maybe?
but the paper towels have bleach in them?


Karen, then we ordered around the same time.
