If you are the one that cleans your house every day then you will know why your hands sometimes feel like they are on fire. It is all the chemicals that we use to do the job. We use bleach on our whites to keep them white. We use all different kinds of cleaners to do all sorts of different jobs. We have several different kinds to put in your toilet and different kinds to use in your bathtub. There are also several different kinds to clean your stove.
We use all kinds of stuff to clean up after ourselves. We have cleaning supplies to remove dust off our tables, chemicals to put in our water to clean our floors, walls, cars, and of course our boats. But one thing that you must never do is to put a couple of these items together, such as bleach and a floor cleaner. Never put bleach with any chemicals because this will most definitely cause your hands to feel like they are on fire.
If this happens put your hands into clean, clear water, and let them set in this for a few minutes. Then put a very good hand lotion on them to get rid of the burning. After that put a layer of triple antibiotic cream and if you want to, put white cotton gloves on your hands to keep them from drying out and splitting overnight. These cotton gloves will also keep the moisture in your skin. If you are going to do a lot of cleaning in your home at one time, make sure that you use a pair of rubber gloves and that you need to make sure that you change them if they start to look like they are worn.
Rubber gloves are a good thing to have when you do any cleaning because they will protect your skin from getting any of these chemicals into or under your skin. It would probably be a good idea to have a pair of safety glasses to protect your eyes against splatters.
This can happen at any time anywhere, but sometimes the fumes themselves are bad enough for you. If you are going to clean your oven make sure that you read all of the instructions on the can and that you follow them to the letter, as they are put there to protect you. Make sure that you have some windows open so you can get some air into the room. If this is not possible use a fumeless brand. |
