Pets at Home Ear Wipes?? (Contain tea tree oil)

Any advice is appreciated!

My 2 indoor cats are suffering from ear mites. I’ve bought some Johnson’s Ear Drops that market killing ear mites and some cotton pads. I plan on administering 3 drops per ear per cat and massaging it for a few mins and using the cotton wool to clean excess after.

Whilst I was in pets at home buying the drops, I noticed pets at home’s own brand “ear wipes for cats and dogs” and I thought they sounded really useful for helping to clean both of my cats ears.

Unfortunately after I returned home I noticed they say “with tea tree oil” near the bottom of the packet. I have always thought tea tree oil to be highly toxic to pets so really I’m just wondering how this can be sold? Is it safe? Has anyone used them?

Additionally if anyone has any tips of ridding ear mites please let me know! Thanks in advance for any replies, it’s greatly appreciated!
