Cleaning Agents You Did Not Know Are Also Dangerous

Many people are not aware that they have toxic substances lying around inside their house. As a homeowner, you must pay attention to these toxic elements. Considering you use some of them regularly, there are ways to keep your family safe from these household suspects. Here are some safety tips to lessen your exposure to these hazardous chemicals.
Laundry and Dishwasher Detergent

These type of cleaning agents typically have colorful packages. For a curious and innocent child, they just look like their favorite snacks. Statistics prove how dangerous this cute stuff is, as they are one of the major factors of child poisoning. Poison hotlines regularly receive calls about a kid being exposed to these poisonous packets.

Carpets and Many Other Household Furniture

Carpet cleaning solutions contain toxic elements including ammonium hydroxide and perchloroethylene formula. Both of these ingredients are bad news to your kidney, liver, skin, eyes, respiratory and nervous systems.

Air Fresheners


These are your household chemicals that make your home smell fresh, but did you know they also contain certain agents that can numb your nerves. An air freshener also has formaldehyde and ultrafine compounds. These can irritate your senses, impair respiratory organ, affect hormone levels, destroy cardiovascular, central nervous, and pulmonary systems, among others.

Household Cleaners

A lot of household cleaners have ammonia in them. However, a product is considered dangerous if it has 5% ammonia content in them. It should be because an exposure to ammonia can cause damage to the skin and eyes. Short-term exposure can adversely affect your respiratory tract, which results in a feeling of suffocation, wheezing, and coughing. On the other hand, high exposure to ammonia may lead to a fatal pulmonary edema.

Lye solution is found in oven and drain cleaners. This corrosive substance can quickly irritate the eyes and skin. While getting in contact with the product can be really dangerous, ingesting it can bring you to the emergency room. High concentrations of lye solution could potentially lead to permanent blindness and skin burn.

Hydrochloric acid is found in toilet bowl cleaning agents. It is a hazardous chemical that can cause tissue damage. One tip of advice; never combine bleach with any products that have hydrochloric acid in them. This deadly mix creates a toxic gas.

No doubt, the chemicals above are meant to help you make your home clean and fresh. But, they can also become dangerous if not use properly. You can also protect your family by buying the right insurance policy. At Wellcovered Insurance Group, we put our clients first by offering them policies that they can afford.
