I can't imagine any commonly-used cleaning product so toxic to cats
that it would hang around in the environment and still be unsafe after
four months... it's a very big 'if' that you're worrying about. I'm
sure they'll be fine. But if you want to be on the safe side, mop the
floor with plain water and wash anything away!

I agree. I'd really be more concerned with new construction being toxic
than with any remnants of cleaning products on an older place.

But yes, wash, rinse, repeat.

Yeah, I will be giving the place a thorough washing in any case.

I am just a bit paranoid about cleaning products because a few months
ago one of the posters of a Spanish cat forum that I lurk on had her cat
die after she washed her floor with some new product. She said she had
rinsed the floor with just water after using the product, but the cat
still ended up with enough toxins in her system that they couldn't save
her. Logically, my mind is telling me that there's little chance of the
same happening to my kitties, but...
