:hi: there,
Original Dawn Soap is used on wild animals when there is a oil spill. It is the only thing delicate enough to be used to clean the animals. It doesn’t have anything to harm. 🙂 Do what you are comfortable with. 🙂 A book I really like to hold on to is called “The Good Housekeeping, Household Encyclopedia” by Hearst Books. There are many cool and interesting things you can do around your house. It is very educational on how your food works and how to handle it. There are also much much more to it. Hope this helps as well. 😀
