#ForeverChemicals’ – the part of cleaning you don’t want to last

"Notable categories of cleaners that either may contain, or have historically contained, PFAS are:

- glass and hard surface cleaners
- fabric, upholstery, and #CarpetCleaners and treatments
- #waxes and polishes for #floors, #furniture, #cars and #boat vessels
- dishwashing rinse aids
- #AerosolPropellant-based #cleaners and #AirFresheners
- #paints and #coatings.

"Floor sealers and finishes – products that cure into a film once applied – often contain PFAS. During floor stripping and waxing, PFAS concentrations in dust and air particulate matter were one order of magnitude greater than typical residential indoor air and two orders of magnitude greater than outdoor air, according to a 2022 study.

"But now the cleaning products #Industry wants to keep consumers in the dark about the use of these chemicals in their brands. Earlier this month, a bill was introduced in Congress on behalf of leading household cleaning product makers that would deny Americans the right to know about #ToxicChemicals in cleaning products.

"The manufacturer #Reckitt applauded Rep. Larry Bucshon (R-Ind.) for introducing the bill, which would rob consumers of crucial information about the ingredients in their products. Reckitt makes popular household brands like #Lysol, #Woolite, #AirWick, #Vanish, #Calgon, among many others.

And industry giant #SCJohnson
called for a 'clear federal standard' on disclosing ingredients, knowing any such standard could take a decade or longer. The company manufactures #Glade, #Drano, #Pledge, #ScrubbingBubbles, #Shout and #Windex, along with many other products, including #Ziploc."

‘Forever chemicals’ – the part of cleaning you don’t want to last

Whether your home is a minimalist’s haven or the epitome of maximalism, it requires regular cleaning. But many cleaning and maintenance products can contain the toxic “forever chemicals” known as PFAS.

finally I was able to #lite the #chimney #fire.

Then for fun I had left some pieces of #copper tubing in a glass bottle along with #saw #dust and #Drano so I figured I could get some copper #salt colored #fire and it works pretty well! In reality it looks so cool. The phone just sort of washes out the color because it's too bright.

Best plumbing service I have ever paid for was the plumber who told me about #ZipIt drain cleaning tool! SKIP the #drano or #bakingsoda. This clears out the whiskers, hair & nail clipping slurry that’s blocking your bathroom drains—see pile of stuff I pulled out of the sink drain with my zip it. So far I’ve used it in all types of drains—shower, tub & sink.

Perhaps #putin could be placed in a sealed room full of #rats? Maybe in an empty room where a #robot drags a #chalk over a #board to get a nice #continuous screech? Or you get stuck in a hot room where a table holds 300cups..one is water, the others are clear, odorless #drano. Or maybe you find yourself face down through a hole on the floor, below is a 100ft drop into shards of #glass covered in #lemon juice. Above your body held by a bunch of sticks of #dynamite triggered by motion sensors.
