Ok, But Is It Dangerous?
Many people are concerned about this liquid safety since it contains various chemical components. But is dish soap truly dangerous?
Of course, as with any chemical stuff, we need to follow certain precautionary measures when using it.
- Always check the label on the bottle propr to buying it if you are allergic to any chemicals
- Dish soap can indeed cause some skin irritation or dryness upon the extended contact. That is why we recommend wearing the protective gloves for washing dishes
- If some of it gets into your eyes, flush them with plenty of cold water until the unpleasant feeling is gone
- If you or someone else (a kid, for instance) by any chance have swallowed the product, drink a lot of water to dilute the product. Do not induce vomiting! If you feel bad, go to the hospital
Like that, there will be no reason to worry that something can happen.
