Living at home is inseparable from washing machine, even more inseparable from washing liquid! Dirty clothes, socks, bed sheets, throw them into the washing machine, pour some washing powder, turn on the washing machine, you can easily solve the big problem of washing at home. Many small partners like to add disinfectant when washing clothes. They feel that only with disinfectant can they feel at ease. Can detergent and disinfectant be used together? Let's have a look.
It is reported that disinfectants are chlorine containing phenolic disinfectants, and excessive or incorrect use will also cause harm. The detergent powder contains surfactants. If the detergent powder is mixed with the disinfectant, it is easy to produce chemical reaction, so that the cleaning and disinfection effects are greatly reduced. In addition, if chlorine containing disinfectant is mixed with acid detergent, chlorine will be produced. When the concentration of chlorine is too high, it will stimulate the eyes, nose, throat and other organs, and even damage the human heart and lung function, even life-threatening.
So, what are the taboos and minefields when using detergent and disinfectant? Today, the author will popularize the washing powder and disinfectant.
1. Washing powder can only be used for washing clothes
Because the washing powder is clean and easy to use, many people use it as a "universal detergent". In addition to washing clothes, they also use it to wash fruits, vegetables, tableware, furniture and floors. This practice may lead to washing powder entering the human body, even if the amount of washing powder entering the body is very small, it will also cause toxicity.
Taking washing powder by mistake will cause chest pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, hematemesis and bloody stool, as well as oral and throat pain. Long term exposure to large doses of washing powder may lead to liver and nerve damage and cancer.
2. Washing powder should not be mixed with disinfectant
Strict use of disinfectant dosage and time can achieve the effect of sterilization. But the composition of washing powder is not the same, there are anionic, cationic or non-ionic, disinfectant is the same. If you mix different kinds of washing powder and disinfectant solution, it is easy to generate neutralization reaction, and their efficacy will be weakened.
Therefore, washing powder and disinfectant should be used separately, which can be used according to personal habits. Unless it is targeted to disinfect the clothes of patients with infectious diseases, they should be disinfected first and then cleaned.
3. The simpler the function of washing powder, the better
Many people want to save clothes and clean clothes, so it is best to brighten up their clothes in the laundry powder water. Therefore, the washing powder function in the market is more and more complete, adding surfactants, lotions, stabilizers, brightening agents, flavors and other ingredients. These chemical materials can be easily soluble, clean, soften, foaming, and so on, but they are like "double-edged sword". It will also have adverse effects.
Studies have shown that surfactants can damage the cuticle layer of the skin and cause rough skin, which has been regarded as a public hazard of environmental pollution; the commonly used detergent aids have some damage to human liver; the alkaline substances contained in strong laundry powder can not only absorb water, but also damage the cell membrane of human body and denaturate Tissue Proteins; the organic chlorine and fluorescent agents contained in whitening washing powder are toxic It is easy to accumulate in the human body and cause damage to health. Too many synthetic fragrances in perfumed washing powder often cause some people's allergies.
Washing powder with simple function, few ingredients and light smell is safe for human health. From the perspective of environmental protection, it is better to choose phosphate free detergent with less water pollution when purchasing washing powder.
4. Washing powder should be put in before washing
Many people are used to storing their dirty clothes in the washing machine and then putting water and detergent into the washing machine. As a matter of fact, washing powder should be put in first when washing clothes.
Washing powder is a kind of powdery substance, which is not easy to dissolve. It can play a better role in cleaning after being dissolved in water. The washing powder should be put into the washing powder first, and then put into the clothes to be washed after being fully dissolved, and then washed after soaking for 10 minutes. In this way, washing powder residue can be avoided due to unclean rinsing.
Tips: we often use all kinds of enzyme containing washing powder. The higher the water temperature is, the lower the enzyme activity will be, making it more difficult to clean. Choose and buy washing powder should recognize the trademark, do not buy those washing powder without obvious place name or factory name.
How to use disinfectant correctly?
Step 1: prepare cleaning and disinfection equipment
Before disinfection, please prepare broom, disinfectant (peracetic acid, Lysol, 84 disinfectant), mop, appropriate protective clothing, brush, mask, bucket, rubber gloves, clean towel and water.

When disinfecting, it must be used in strict accordance with the proportion of the instructions. The thicker the disinfectant is, the more effective it is.
It can be estimated as follows: a cup of water is about 250 ml, one side of basin water is about 5000 ml, a bucket of water is about 10000 ml, a spoonful of disinfectant is equivalent to 10 grams of solid powder or 10 ml of liquid. If 10000 ml of 0.5% Peracetic Acid needs to be prepared, 5 spoons of peracetic acid can be added into a bucket of water.
The proportioning of bleach, peracetic acid, Lysol, 84 disinfectant and other disinfectants should be referred to.
Step 3: environmental disinfection
Disinfection of the ground: first clean the ground garbage, and then thoroughly mop the floor with disinfectant. Or use diluted peracetic acid to spray the room; the sealed room can also be fumigated and sterilized, then mop the floor with clean water.

For more than 15 minutes, the tableware can be sterilized by chemical steaming. For the disinfection of clothes, towels, etc., the cotton cloth should be boiled and disinfected for 10-20 minutes, or soaked with 0.5% Peracetic Acid for 0.5-1 hour. For some chemical fiber fabrics and satins, only chemical immersion disinfection method can be used.
Be careful of "disinfection dead corner"
At present, there is a "dead corner" in the disinfection of public places, such as newspapers and magazines. Few people think that newspapers and magazines are dirty.

2. As long as a disinfectant is selected according to the instructions, it is not allowed to mix it, otherwise chlorine poisoning will occur easily.
3. People who are allergic to disinfectant should leave the room and ventilate the room after 40 minutes to one hour. For the interval of disinfection, experts believe that it is OK to operate according to the instructions of disinfectant, but if the conditions are available, it is better to insist on disinfection every day.
4. First of all, it is necessary to ensure the ventilation and ventilation, and take the often opened windows as a measure to keep the public places clean.
