Dressed in clean clothes and placed in a spotless environment, it is comfortable and reassuring, but I never thought about it. In the process of cleaning, I have been unknowingly affected by detergent. Recently, the US Environmental Working Group research institute recently released some of the most harmful health products.
1. A full-effect cleaner.
It is suitable for a wide range of applications, whether it is oil, dust or rust stains. But usually they all contain ethylene glycol monobutyl ether solvent, which will destroy red blood cells through the skin. Some consumers do not look at the product description, do not add dilution, the greater the dose used, the greater the harm. Some sprays contain the carcinogen formaldehyde and D-limonin, which react with ozone in the air to induce lung disease.
Alternative method: Mix white vinegar and water in a ratio of 1:9 and spray and sterilize. For items that have been contaminated by bacteria, disinfect with hydrogen peroxide and then use white vinegar to sterilize more thoroughly.
2. Toilet cleaner.
Brightening the toilet and sink as a new toilet can be fatal or cause permanent damage, it can pass through the skin, damaging the subcutaneous tissue and bones.
Alternative method: Pour white vinegar into the toilet, soak it overnight, and brush it the next morning.
3. Laundry products.
Washing powder, softeners, etc. may contain carcinogenic formaldehyde, which can induce allergies and asthma in short-term use.
Alternative method: When washing clothes, add half a cup of white vinegar, sterilize and prevent wrinkles.
4. Floor cleaner.
The addition of nonylphenol ethoxylate to floor cleaning agents in California is harmful to the environment and interferes with the body's hormone balance. Some floor cleaners contain chemicals that can also harm the fetus.
Alternative method: homemade white vinegar water, also has a bactericidal effect.
5. Remove the oil.
Degreasing agents may irritate the lungs, or burn skin and eyes, and may also contain carcinogenic ingredients. Some crystalline detergents may cause blindness or fatality or create dangerous chemical reactions. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, mucous membranes and clothing. Avoid accidental swallowing or inhalation of spray when using, be sure to wear rubber gloves and try to keep the room ventilated.
Alternative method: Add 1 tablespoon of soapy water and 1 teaspoon of borax to two cups of hot water, spray on the side of the cooktop, the inner wall of the microwave oven and other places with more oil. After 20 minutes, wipe it with a dry cloth. If there is too much fouling, you can wipe it with a used newspaper first.
6. Tile cleaner.
Some tile cleaning products stimulate the lungs, and some can cause irreversible eye damage.
Alternative method: Pour half a cup of baking soda into the bowl, slowly add soapy water and stir into a cream, scrub with a sponge. You can also use a lemon to wipe the tiles, then rinse them off with water.
The air freshener.
Air fresheners such as scented candles contain benzene carcinogens and aromatic chemicals that cause obesity, and are easily addictive. Massive inhalation is harmful to your health and can even be fatal.
Alternative method: find out the source of the smell and completely remove it. A small bowl of white vinegar is placed in the room to absorb the odor.
