Aunt Liu, 35 years old, is a housewife, and she is usually responsible for all things at home, taking care of the children and the elderly in the family.

One day, my aunt suddenly swiped a push message popping up from a certain software, showing "Are you still using dish soap at home?" Long-term use of dish soap not only hurts hands but also causes cancer, CCTV has named it! ”

Click into the content of the article, which tells that the Industrial and Commercial Bureau has found that the carcinogens in the dish soap exceed the standard by 28 times, which is more harmful to the human body, and calls on everyone not to use it anymore, but to choose their dishwashing liquid, which is clean, safe and does not hurt hands, and also comes with a variety of "test reports".

Aunt Liu panicked all of a sudden, the dish soap that is usually used to wash dishes at home has never imagined that it will cause cancer. Looking at the dishwashing liquid link at the end of the article,Aunt Liu decisively placed an order and bought a few bottles。

1. Cleansing essence is "harmful essence", and will it cause cancer when used?

Detergent is a daily necessities, and even many people have a "high incidence of cancer in China, all because of the use of detergent", in fact, detergent really causes cancer?

The cleaning effect of dish soap depends on surfactants, which contain a variety of active ingredients and emulsifiers, which can easily decompose various greasy stains, harmful substances, dispersed suspension, etc.

The most convenient thing is that just rinse with water, and the dissolved matter can be separated from the surface of the tableware to achieve the effect of clean tableware.

Obviously it is a highly effective decontamination detergent product, why is there a rumor of "delicate cleaning cancer"?

This can be traced back to a special spot check on the quality supervision of detergent products in 6 years. The scope of this random inspection involved 0 provinces, and the results found that the product qualification rate was 0.0%,The unqualified products are mainly because of excessive formaldehyde。

In other words, the so-called "delicate carcinoma", the correct statement should be that "excessive formaldehyde and unqualified dish soap will cause cancer". It is important to know that formaldehyde can cause direct irritation to the skin and mucous membranes of the human body, which can lead to an increased risk of related respiratory diseases.

In accordance with the relevant laws and regulations of the state,Formaldehyde is not allowed to be added to dish soap。 However, in order to save costs or to pursue washing results, some small factories will add in violation of regulations.

So, does dish soap cause harm to human health? The answer is:It is true that there is some damage to the hand。

The purpose of using dish soap is to remove oil, including stainless steel, ceramic, glass, plastic, etc., and their surfactants are stronger than shower gels, hand sanitizers, etc. If the degreasing and degreasing effect is too strong, it will destroy the protective lipids on the surface of our skin.The skin will become dry。

2. Will the residue on the dish soap be harmful to the human body?

After washing the dishes, it can be found that the dishes washed with dish soap will have a faint smell of dish soap, which makes people feel that they have not been cleaned, and there are still residues on them...... So will such residues cause harm to the human body? Let's look at an experiment:

Kunming City to create a national food safety demonstration team to carry out a detergent residue experiment, the tester took a sample of tableware, cleaned with detergent, measured the inner surface area, and respectively with basin water scrubbing, basin water scrubbing twice, running water simple rinse, running water rinsing 30 seconds to remove detergent residue, respectively, sampling and comparative analysis.

The results showed that the residue of sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate was the highest after washing with potted water, with an estimated measured value of 100.0mg per 0 square centimeters, and the residue of washing twice with potted water and simply rinsing with running water also exceeded the national limit.

Rinse only under running water for 30 secondsSodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate measurement value,Less than 100.0mg per 0 square centimeters。

Sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate is a low-toxicity substance, and existing studies have found that as long as dish soap is used correctly,Trace residues are not harmful to the body。 In order to avoid chemical residues, it is recommended to use dishes after dish soap and wash them repeatedly with clean water.

3. Healthy use of dish soap, there are 2 points to pay attention to

Dish soap plays an important role in daily cleaning, and its quality is essential to our health. When using dish soap correctly, the following two points should be noted:

1. Buy regular dish soap

Don't be greedy for cheap to choose the three no products produced by small workshops, there is no quality standard, and there may be bacteria exceeding the standard. You should choose to buy products from a regular business place.

2. Reduce dish soap residue

Used dishes should be rinsed with water first, and then scrubbed with a sponge or dish cloth dipped in diluted dish soap; When washing, do not soak the dishes in the diluted dish soap for a long time, and rinse them immediately under running water; There is no need to over-clean, and for dishes with no or less oil, hot water can be used for cleaning purposes.

Detergent is a very mature product, and the pass rate of detergent on the market is basically close to 100%, so you don't need to worry too much about the rumors of "delicate detergent cancer".

However, detergents also have more chemical ingredients, so in order to avoid damage to the skin, Xiao Jiu recommends that when cleaning dishes, it is best to wear latex gloves to protect our skin.
