Do not mix laundry detergent and disinfectant when washing
Many people like to add some disinfectant when washing clothes with laundry detergent, which makes the effect of cleaning and disinfecting are greatly reduced. Laundry detergent contains surfactants, if you mix laundry detergent and disinfectant, it is easy to chemical reaction, so that the effectiveness of each weakened. If the disinfectant containing chlorine is mixed with acid-containing laundry detergent, it will lead to the production of chlorine gas. When the concentration of chlorine gas is too high, it will irritate human eyes, nose, throat and other organs, and in serious cases, it will also damage human heart and lungs tissues, and even endanger life. Unless someone in the family suffers from pink eye, diarrhoea, grey nails, ringworm of the scalp, etc. or a woman's menstruation, puerperium and infancy, there is absolutely no need to use disinfectant to wash clothes. Frequent use of disinfectant not only reduces the body's own resistance, but also prone to liver damage.
Add disinfectant solution to sterilise dishes when brushing them
Disinfection of daily necessities can be done without disinfectant solution. The sun's ultraviolet rays are the best disinfectant; washing clothes in soapy water also completes the sterilisation process; and tableware can be boiled in boiling water for 15-30 minutes.
