In life, many people quarrel over who does the dishes tonight.
They are always full of various burdens (borrowing) hearts (mouths) for the grueling housework of washing dishes—–
For example, washing dishes too much will hurt your hands, and the greasy residue of detergent on your hands is always disgusting;
For example, dish soap contains a lot of contraceptive ingredients, which can lead to problems such as infertility;
For example, detergent contains some carcinogenic ingredients, and it is easy to cause cancer after washing too much……
Good guy, how’s the day going? What is the use of detergent?
Does dish soap really cause cancer?
The main ingredients of the dishwashing detergent include sodium fatty alcohol ether sulfate, sodium alkyl sulfonate, solubilizer, foaming agent, preservative, color, flavor and water .
Sodium fatty alcohol ether sulfate and sodium alkyl sulfonate are petrochemical products, which have good emulsifying ability and decontamination ability, and can quickly remove some oil stains.
The ingredients of foaming agents are generally acrylic cheese, methyl silicone oil and so on.
These ingredients are strictly limited when they are added, and the added ingredient standards will not have toxic effects on the human body, nor will they cause cancer.
Detergent, not a birth control pill
There are currently no medical studies showing the relationship between dish soap and infertility.
As a kind of daily detergent, the main ingredient of detergent is a class of substances called “surfactants”, which can decontaminate The ability to wash and chemical products, of course, is indispensable.
Therefore, worrying about not being able to have children after using dish soap is totally unnecessary.
What should I pay attention to when using dish soap?
1. Control usage
Most people use too much detergent when they use it.
Once the amount is too much, some detergent residues are likely to appear on the tableware, which does have a certain impact on the human body. Therefore, when using detergent, it must be diluted first, for example, it can be diluted to about 200~500 times.
2. Take the right approach
When using dishwashing liquid, most people squeeze the dishwashing liquid directly on the tableware and then wash the tableware directly. This method of use is not correct.
Put some water in the basin first, then pour a small amount of detergent, dilute it, and soak the tableware in water for about 2 to 5 minutes. Then scrub with a rag or sponge, and finally rinse with water.
If there is a lot of oil, it can be used twice, which can have a very good decontamination effect.
Be more careful when cleaning fruits with detergent. Do not apply detergent directly on the surface of fruits. Instead, wash them by diluting, soaking, and rinsing with water.
It is worth noting that when cleaning fruits with detergent, be sure to dilute the concentration of the detergent to less than 2%, and do not soak the fruit in the detergent water for a long time. Otherwise, the biggest problem is ——- your mouth is full of detergent flavor.
As for whether it is poisonous to eat, there is no need to worry too much, its safety has been thoroughly studied.
3. Clean thoroughly
After washing dishes with dish soap, dishes must be washed thoroughly.
The best way is to rinse the tableware in running water for several times, and keep the time of each rinse for 30 seconds, which can effectively rinse the detergent ingredients on the tableware. .
When washing fruit with dish soap, soak the fruit in clean water for about two minutes, and then rinse it with running water for about one minute, but it is best to peel it and eat it.
Detergent, the main problem is —– do not use products with unknown history
Actually, detergent itself is a well-developed product. In recent years, some market surveys have found that the pass rate of detergent is relatively high, close to 100% .
But this is only close, not necessarily 100% safe.
Some uncommon local miscellaneous brands will inevitably have substandard products, such as cutting corners, or the concentration of surfactants is not enough, and some of them are not sterilized, and the bacteria exceed the standard.
Therefore, as far as possible, choose detergents from big brands and purchased from regular channels to avoid any moths.
