Six tips for avoiding skin irritation:

Wash your hands after cleaning This removes irritants or chemicals you contact while removing protective gloves or clothing.

Protect your skin

Wear waterproof gloves and long sleeves. Buy vinyl or plastic gloves if you are sensitive to latex.

Avoid chemicals you’ve reacted to in the past

Check the labels of the products you’re buying.

Old-fashioned may be best

Gentle cleaners like baking soda may be a healthier alternative to harsh chemicals.

Use original packaging

It may be tempting to transfer cleaners to pretty bottles, but you don’t want to come in contact with an irritant by accident.

Never mix chemicals

Toxic fumes can be formed and cause serious problems that can lead to injury or worse.
