Cleaner Detergent

What is Cleaner Detergent?

Cleaner Detergent is a type of cleaning product designed to break down dirt, oil, and stains, typically used for washing laundry, dishes, or cleaning household surfaces. These detergents contain a variety of surfactants, enzymes, and fragrances that help lift grime and dissolve oils, making them essential in cleaning both household items and personal belongings. Some detergents are formulated to clean heavily soiled items, while others are designed for delicate fabrics or sensitive skin.

Why do I have an intolerance?

Cleaner Detergents often contain harsh chemicals, such as surfactants, enzymes, and synthetic fragrances, which can cause irritation to the skin and respiratory system. For individuals with sensitive skin, these detergents can lead to itching, rashes, or contact dermatitis. The fragrances or preservatives used to enhance the scent or shelf-life of detergents can also cause allergic reactions, such as sneezing, nasal congestion, or headaches, particularly for those with asthma or chemical sensitivities.

What can I do about it?

For people with detergent sensitivities, using fragrance-free, hypoallergenic detergents can help reduce the risk of allergic reactions and skin irritation. Always read the label to ensure the product is suitable for sensitive skin. Additionally, wearing gloves when handling detergent can help prevent skin contact, and ensuring good ventilation during washing can reduce inhalation of fumes. For those seeking natural alternatives, baking soda, white vinegar, and castile soap can be used for effective cleaning without harsh chemicals.
