Direct

What is Direct?

Direct is a household cleaner used for general cleaning tasks, often marketed for its ability to cut through tough stains and sanitize surfaces. It typically includes strong surfactants and fragrances to deliver effective cleaning results, which can trigger sensitivities in some people.

Why do I have an intolerance?

The surfactants and fragrance additives in Direct can cause skin irritation and respiratory discomfort, particularly for individuals with allergies or asthma. Symptoms can include nasal congestion, sneezing, headaches, and skin reactions like redness or itching.

What can I do about it?

To mitigate symptoms, try using Direct in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves for skin protection. For a less intense cleaner, consider a mild, natural cleaning alternative. Fragrance-free and hypoallergenic products are available on the market and may offer gentler cleaning without the risk of reactions.
