Danger of cleaning and detergents

There is much talk about the dangers of detergents and cleaners. But this does not stop people from buying harmful chemicals. In most cases, this stems from ignorance of the specific problems that threaten the use of cheap detergents.

Shop products, even of well-known brands, contain harmful chemicals that enter the human body through the respiratory tract and through food, because most of them are not completely washed off the dishes.

 

Important! To completely wash off chemical plaque from dishes, it is necessary to rinse it more than 10 times with clean water and a sponge, which is at least 50 liters of cold water per plate.

The consequences can be really scary:

• Oncological diseases.
• Infertility.
• Allergic reactions.

And this is by no means a complete list of diseases.

A big and fat minus of using store-bought household chemicals is harm to the environment, in particular, to the reservoirs into which they get from the sewer. The fact that such products are tested on animals, not a single manufacturer indicated on the label and not a single advertisement remembered this.

Conclusions suggest themselves: a safe tool is needed, which is not scary to wash plates and pans, which will not clog rivers and lakes.

How to wash dishes with mustard powder?

There are several ways to effectively clean dirty kitchen utensils with mustard powder.

Method 1

For further convenience, mustard powder should be placed in a convenient jar, from which it will be easy to get. Soak a wet sponge in the powder and start rubbing the plates.

Important! You can also put mustard in a jar such as a salt shaker with large holes and apply the powder directly to dirty dishes. Ideally, a clean jar of baby powder is suitable for these purposes.

Method 2

Another option for using mustard powder for washing dishes will surely appeal to many:

1. In a clean bottle with a dispenser, pour mustard powder 1 cm thick.
2. Pour in the same water - about another 4 cm.

Important! The water should be cold or warm, but in no case hot, since then the mustard will emit toxic fumes.

3. Shake the mixture well until powder is left on the bottom.

Important! Do not immediately prepare a full bottle of solution, as it will be very difficult to shake.

4. Leave the shaken mixture for 5 minutes to make the mustard powder swell.
5. Before applying the finished product to the sponge, shake the bottle so that the mustard is evenly distributed in the solution.

Important! For this method, it is best to take a transparent bottle so that you can clearly see the consistency of the product.

The disadvantage of this method is the frequency of use and constant agitation.

Important! The mixture can not be left for a long time in a warm place, otherwise it sour. In summer it is better to store it in the refrigerator or in a drawer under the sink.

Method 3

For older pollution, mustard powder is used along with soda. For this:

1. Mix mustard with soda in a 1: 1 ratio.
2. Sprinkle a dirty dish with such a mixture and start washing it.

Important! Gentle surfaces such as Teflon must be soaked in this mixture, then simply wipe with a wet sponge.
