As the Spring Festival approaches, every household is busy with cleaning up to welcome the arrival of the new year. However, during the cleaning process, we have to be alert to a potential danger - improper use of cleaning agents may cause serious harm to the human body.

Recently, a man in Fujian Province was cleaning flower paper on ceramics. Although he had put on two layers of industrial cloth gloves and dipped a cotton swab in hydrofluoric acid, he did not use professional rubber gloves and took a large amount, resulting in burns to his fingers. Later treatment may last for one or two months.

What is hydrofluoric acid?

Hydrofluoric acid, which may sound unfamiliar, is actually hidden in many household cleaning agents. Hydrofluoric acid is an aqueous solution of hydrogen fluoride gas, which is colorless, transparent, has an irritating odor, and has extremely strong corrosiveness. It can corrode metals, glass, and silicon containing objects, and even corrode human bones. It can be called "bone water".

In fact, many cleaning agents contain strong acid and alkali components. Therefore, when using cleaning agents, special gloves must be worn to avoid direct contact between hands. In addition to gloves, masks and goggles should also be worn to prevent cleaning agents from irritating the respiratory tract or splashing into the eyes, causing damage.

Don't step on the minefield of mixed cleaning agents!

During the year-end cleaning, many people may try to mix different cleaning agents to enhance the cleaning effect. However, it should be noted that cleaning agents have different effects, and mixing them may produce toxic gases or cause burns.

1. Toilet cleaning solution+84 disinfectant=chlorine poisoning

Chlorine gas is a toxic and strongly irritating gas that can cause nausea, vomiting, chest pain, and diarrhea. Therefore, do not use 84 disinfectant and toilet cleaner simultaneously.

2.84 disinfectant+laundry detergent=toxic substances

Mixing laundry detergent with 84 disinfectant can cause neutralization reactions, reduce cleaning effectiveness, and even produce toxic substances.

3. Dishwasher detergent+toilet cleaner=reduced cleaning effect

Dishwashing detergent is an alkaline cleaner suitable for removing oily dirt; Jietoilet Ling contains hydrochloric acid, which is an acidic cleaner suitable for cleaning alkaline dirt in bathrooms. After mixing the two, a neutralization reaction occurs, which greatly reduces the cleaning effect.

Pay attention to some easily overlooked cleaning details:

1. Ventilation

Opening windows for ventilation 2-3 times a day for at least 30 minutes each time can improve indoor air quality and protect respiratory health.

2. Cleaning of high-frequency contact items

Using 75% concentration medical alcohol to wipe items such as mobile phones and keys can quickly clean stains and eliminate bacteria.

3. Cleaning tools

Timely cleaning of cloths, mops, etc. can effectively prevent bacterial growth and maintain household hygiene.

It should be emphasized that home air does not need to be disinfected, only ventilation and air exchange need to be strengthened. Do not spray alcohol or purchase "spray disinfectant" for air disinfection in indoor air and on object surfaces.

one side

Spraying alcohol into the air can easily cause fires or explosions when exposed to heat sources or sparks;

on the other hand

Small particles of disinfectant droplets suspended in the air are easily inhaled by the human body, causing respiratory discomfort.
