Expert from household chemical products: additives contained in washing powders can be toxic to the body.

The specialist said in an interview that the use of various washing agents – powders, conditioners, bleaches, etc. – requires compliance certain rules.

But in everyday life, such rules are often violated: few people read the instructions on the package and follow what is written. Here's an example: fabric conditioners are often used as air fresheners. Such a “frivolous” attitude towards these products can be very dangerous for human health.

“Due to additives, the conditioner can penetrate into the fibers of the fabric and accumulate in them, which causes not only an allergic reaction, but also has a negative effect on the respiratory tract, mucous membranes,” the expert warned.

As for washing powders, they may contain compounds that remove stains well, but are potentially dangerous for the body.

“The most toxic and dangerous – cationic additives. If they get into the body, they can lead to poisoning, an allergic reaction, and nausea,” the expert said.

Additionally, the expert advised choosing other household chemicals for the home – for washing dishes or cleaning – with great care. All of them are able to cause unwanted reactions, contain components that are potentially toxic to the body, moreover, which tend to accumulate.

The expert focused on universal detergents – their compositions can be very aggressive:

“In order to expand the scope of application, solvents, ammonia compounds, disinfectant components, as well as numerous surface-active additives are included in their composition”
