Ajax Cleanser with Bleach

What is Ajax Cleanser with Bleach?

Ajax Cleanser with Bleach is a powerful cleaning powder that combines bleach with an abrasive base, making it suitable for scrubbing stubborn stains and sanitizing various surfaces. It’s often used in kitchens and bathrooms to tackle hard-to-remove dirt and grime, as well as mold and mildew. However, its strong cleaning and bleaching agents can trigger reactions in sensitive individuals.

Why do I have an intolerance?

The bleach and abrasive components in Ajax Cleanser can release fumes that irritate the respiratory system and may trigger coughing, sneezing, or eye watering. For those with sensitive skin, direct contact with the powder can cause dryness, redness, or even mild burns. In enclosed spaces, inhaling the fumes or dust from Ajax Cleanser can aggravate respiratory issues, especially for people with asthma or allergies.

What can I do about it?

When using Ajax Cleanser, wear gloves to protect the skin and ensure adequate ventilation to prevent inhalation of fumes and particles. For a milder yet effective alternative, a paste made from baking soda and water can provide similar scrubbing power without the harsh chemicals. Another option is a simple vinegar solution, which can help clean and disinfect surfaces naturally.
