Lao Li was recently awakened by a sentence from his daughter-in-law, and at dinner that day, his daughter-in-law suddenly mentioned that the laundry detergent commonly used at home may be harmful to health. The golden sunset shines through the window and onto the dining table, which should be a warm family mealtime, but it becomes silent because of the topic of laundry detergent. Lao Li never thought that this laundry, which he regarded as a daily triviality, would have such a hidden danger. My wife suddenly whispered, "I said that the laundry detergent smelled pungent, and it seems that I was right." ”
After that dinner, Lao Li sat on the balcony in distress, and the city lights in the distance seemed like his chaotic thoughts at the moment. The weekly laundry activity at home has become a stone in his heart that needs to be turned over urgently. He thought to himself:Isn't laundry detergent used every day? How did it become a potential "killing"**?
Lao Li recalled the technical terms mentioned by his daughter-in-law, and also thought about whether what he had always thought was the "clear stream" of washing clothes, as his daughter-in-law said, the hidden harm was more chilling than the dirt itself. He was upset about this, knowing that he had to get to the bottom of it, but also hoping to find a safe alternative that would give the whole family peace of mind. Lao Li started to ** those chemical ingredients that are not very friendly at first glance - methylisothiazolinone and DMDM hydantoin, these things are preservatives, which sound quite professional, but can cause formaldehyde release. Formaldehyde, the name is familiar to Lao Li, it is ranked "champion" on the list of carcinogens of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Once formaldehyde invades the lungs, it will combine with DNA as if it were fateful, making the DNA fragmented, and finally forcing people on the road to cancer.
The panicked Lao Li hurriedly checked the information, and he found that in the market, in addition to the scary formaldehyde, there are also phosphorus-containing ingredients, such as cocamide DEA and triclosan, which are easy to cause harm to the human body. He knew that the next time he bought laundry detergent, he had to study the ingredient list thoroughly, and he couldn't let these sneaky "bad guys" get into the house anymore.
Do fluorescent agents really cause cancer? Lao Li had heard of the claim that fluorescent agents cause cancer before, but in fact, this ingredient has been wronged for a long time. The International Agency for Research on Cancer and the China Association of Detergents have both pointed out that fluorescent brighteners that meet the standards are actually safe, environmentally friendly, and do not cause cancer. Professor Wu Zhigang, a toxicologist, made it clear that fluorescent agents do not accumulate in the body at all, and there is no need to worry too much.
After comparing various information, Lao Li decided to say goodbye to his "Xiaobai" friend who had been misunderstood for many years - fluorescent brighteners, and at the same time he was also determined to say goodbye to those real laundry detergent "pests". Who is the king of laundry detergent, laundry detergent, and laundry pods? The mysterious question resurfaced in Lao Li's mind, which laundry product should he use to be safe and clean? Lao Li learned that most laundry products, including laundry detergent and laundry detergent, are effective detergents because of surfactants. The problem lies in the use experience, because the laundry detergent is solid, the solubility is not strong, and it is easy to remain on the clothes, which is more irritating. Laundry detergent is more hydrophilic, more likely to be washed off by water, and the laundry is more supple after washing.
* Is a higher laundry pod an IQ tax? Lao Li found that in fact, it is a highly concentrated laundry detergent, and the "combat effectiveness" of decontamination is indeed fierce. But considering the cost performance, it is better to use it when you need a "big move", and it is enough to use laundry detergent at ordinary times. Lao Li finally had an idea, and laundry detergent would become his new choice. Lao Li didn't expect it, it turned out that not only the laundry detergent, but even the big guy of the washing machine, there are many misunderstandings worth noting. Lao Li used to quickly close the lid when he ran out of it, and it turned out that he had inadvertently provided a petri dish for bacteria. The washing machine is used diligently, but the cleaning of the washing machine itself is neglected. Lao Li decided to clean the washing machine with baking soda and white vinegar every once in a while from now on.
Also, Lao Li used to wash all his clothes together, but now that he thinks about it, it is simply a party for the spread of pathogenic bacteria. Staphylococcus aureus, Trichophyton rubrum, Candida albicans, these guys may have run to their clothes. Lao Li decided that in the future, he would definitely have to wash his underwear and other intimate clothes separately, and then heat water and disinfectant to ensure the cleaning effect. Lao Li finally sorted out all kinds of laundry chaos, he regained his mood and sat back at the dining table, he knew that this time he finally clarified right and wrong, and hoped that the home would be healthier from now on. He is determined to pass on this precious knowledge to every member of the family to ensure everyone's safety and well-being. Lao Li believes that the safety and health of the home starts with every laundry.
