How much is dangerous?

We don't give a threshold. The risk depends on the animal's weight, species and the concentration of the product; assuming "they only had a little, it's fine" is the most dangerous approach. If in doubt, see a vet.

What should I do if they ate it?

Don't try to induce vomiting yourself — for some substances this makes things worse. Work out what, how much and when it was eaten, bring the packaging with you, and see a vet without waiting for symptoms.
