subject: Top 3 Dangerous Home Cleaning Products [print this page] If you clean your home regularly because it is important for you to live in a clean and healthy environment, can I ask you a question? What materials do you use for the purpose? If you usually use commercial detergents then I am curious to know whether you are aware of the fact how poisonous these solutions can be?!
Believe it or not, many of the London cleaning professionals advise their clients to avoid using any chemical solutions if there is a chance to achieve the same results, using natural ingredients. This is because most of the commercial detergents available on the market contain lots of toxins, chemicals and other poisonous elements that could harm your health, if using them regularly. Therefore I want to share with you top 3 common cleaning solutions that can seriously harm your health. And here is the list:
1. Drain cleaner is one of the most poisonous cleaning detergents. It consists chemicals such as lye and other acids that destroy different clogs in the drain. Drain cleaners should be kept away from children because if they are swallowed by accident, the results could be fatal. However, if this happens you should immediately call a doctor or an emergency. Moreover, there are some other safety ways to unclog your drain without using any poisonous drain cleaners. For the purpose, make a little research about how to use white vinegar and baking soda to clean your drains. This way, you will gain the same results as if you use some commercial detergent.
2. The next dangerous cleaning product that many people use in their everyday cleaning is the bleach. It is a common ingredient in many cleaning detergents because it is very effective in killing mould and bacteria, and is a great disinfectant, as well. However if it makes a contact with your skin or eyes, the damages it can cause are pretty serious. So, it is very important to keep it out of the reach of children. Instead of bleach you can use natural products such as lemon juice and vinegar.
3. Polish is the last product that London cleaners advise to avoid. This product contains nitrobenzene that is very dangerous. It may cause skin discolourations and even some serious lung diseases.
