Fernando Diaz: Household Products
Product 1: Lysol Brand All Purpose Cleaner, Lemon Scent-Old
Main Concerns: Eye Contact: Causes eye irritation. Skin Contact: May cause skin damage. Inhilation: None expected. Ingestion: May be harmful if swallowed.
Reaction: No real surprise here. I pretty much grew up knowing that anything under the sink is considered bad for my health. Whenever I tried to open up the cabinets under the sink my mother would scold me and tell me all that stuff was bad and only used for cleaning. So i stayed away from that, and from cleaning. Apologies to my wife. It's mama's fault.
Product 2: Ajax with Bleach Powder Cleanser
Main Concerns: Eye contact: Causes eye irritation on direct contact. Skin contact: May cause skin irritation upon prolonged contact. Inhalation: No adverse effects due to inhalation are expected. Ingestion: May be harmful if swallowed in large quantities.
Reaction: Again no surprises. At this point of my life i pretty much expect anything under the sink to be poisonous enough to take down a horse. If i had a child though, I may rethink this whole thing.
The question is...which household products don't cause health concerns? Like you, I feel like almost every household product is toxic. I am sure everyone has used the products that you discussed at some point in their life. I have always seen these products under my sink ever since I was a kid. I guess the challenge is finding safer alternatives to these household cleaners.
