Health Tip: Protect Yourself From Household Chemicals
By LadyLively on January 6, 2020
From certain paints to some detergents, common household items can contain toxic chemicals, says the Cleveland Clinic.
To protect yourself from household chemicals, Cleveland Clinic urges:
- When working with oven cleaners, wear an apron, gloves and goggles.
- Ensure that the area you’re using chemicals in is well-ventilated.
- Wear latex dishwashing gloves when using antibacterial cleaners.
- Wash your hands immediately if you get chemicals on your skin.
- Opt for non-toxic cleaners, if possible.
