Too pure
- In case of contact with the body is to drink plenty of water and immediately consult a doctor! " - encourages cleaner for ovens. It consists of a caustic alkali and petroleum distillates. "If you leave the composition on the skin for a few minutes, burn money, " says the doctor-gastroenterologist Vadim Krysin. Imagine what will happen in the stomach or on the mucous.
Many strong detergents (Girardelli) contain these substances, although without them it can be done. After all, this "cocktail" is easy to wash even the oven, which had not been cleaned 10-15 years, few can boast of such "disgusting"! Modern household chemistry in tens times more powerful than it actually require our apartments.
Buying any household cleanser, pay attention to surface-active substances (surfactants) in its composition. They are anionic, cationic and nonionic. The most harmful - anionic - dangerous for immunity, vision, and liver.
- Choose tools, the content of surfactant which does not exceed 5%, this minimizes the harm, " says Alexey Kiselev, Director of the toxic programs Greenpeace. Surfactant is not washed with water until the end, but their concentration is waning, so the more the content of surfactant in powder or wash dishes require more rinsing. Extremely dangerous can be the polishes for furniture, which is composed of nitrobenzene, bleach with ammonia and volatile sodium hypochlorite, an antibacterial agent with phenol. Not as secure as they seem, and air fresheners: UK scientists have shown that those who use aerosol freshener, 25% more likely to suffer from headaches.
Propane-butane, as well as aldehydes included in the composition of the aerosols act as neurotoxins. The principle of operation of most air fresheners - not absorption smell, and the hammering of his other, more powerful. Dishonest manufacturers and even add in air fresheners substances that suppress our olfactory receptors. The spray will neutralize not smell, and us!
Despite its potential dangers, many cleaning products at home do not have the label information on the composition. Or about the components reported in the abstract, for example: citric acid, excipients, water (cleaner limescale); "especially activated substances, flavouring" (gyroglider); "unique deodorizing ingredient xxx™" (air freshener).
Why such secrecy? Alas, admitting it is the law "On commercial secrets" protects the manufacturer, not the health of a person.
- Composition of the household is determined by the state Standards, the Uniform sanitary and epidemiological and hygienic requirements (in the framework of the Customs Union), explained to us Galina Ulantseva, chief specialist manufacturers Association of perfumery, cosmetics and household chemicals. - Only security is already released funds nobody checks - many imported bottle does not have a translation in English or at least English (especially this sin of Japanese and Chinese chemistry), they do not have labels about the dangers for children, Allergy sufferers, and animals.
Lemon instead of powder
Sociologists from the United States calculated that each year the world's population spends more than $ 8 million. to purchase detergents and cleaning agents. In Russia, following Europe gaining increasing popularity of so-called organic and BioWare: they use only biodegradable organic compounds. They are not poisonous, but allergic! In addition, the law in Russia, the term "organic" is not fixed: under the fashionable trend is increasingly masked by conventional chemistry!
- More and more customers are asking us not to use household chemicals, and work soap, soda and steam cleaners (no less effective than the "nuclear" sprays), - Anastasia vyshegorodtseva, co-owner of the agencies involved in cleaning and carpet cleaning. - Popular "organic" and "environmental" means. This service order available, families with young children.
To deal with mud and folk remedies, remind environmentalists.
The best means from scale on appliances and plaque on plumbing - a concentrated solution of citric acid, it's cheap and 100% harmless, - says Yuri Gonchar, Director General of the Main test centre drinking water.
Lemon juice removes rust stains, clean the silver with water and adding it to wash the Windows. Soda washes any dirt from the dishes. Adding borax in water and vinegar, you can get the tool for cleaning floors. But to use homemade detergent in washing machines and dishwashers is not recommended.
Industrial powders contain additives that suppress the formation of foam, - says Vitaly Dolgov, chief specialist of the service on home appliances repair. Without them, the foam will go literally from all slots" and flood the "brains" of the machine - the device can be discarded.
