Only choose cleaning products that will keep them safe.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

\"\"With the advent of COVID-19, many of us have stepped up on our cleaning efforts. This may include the use of stronger products to eliminate the pathogens in our homes. Ironically, doing so could be making you ill, as not all cleaning products are safe for use. Many of them contain VOC (volatile organic compounds) and ammonia, which can be toxic, especially for those with respiratory problems like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. These chemicals can also give rise to skin issues like contact dermatitis.<\/p>\n

What is distressing is that children are often the most vulnerable. Accidental poisoning at home accounts for 1% of the daily cases reported at KK Women\u2019s and Children\u2019s Hospital. The bulk of these poisonings occurred in children aged one to four years old, and a sizeable portion was due to household liquids used.<\/p>\n

To prevent inadvertently poisoning your family, you may want to keep a critical eye on the ingredients in your household cleaning products, and opt for non-toxic solutions instead. Below are some recommendations:<\/p>\n

\"\"
