I’m a cleaning expert – here’s a common but deadly mistake you must avoid
A CLEANING expert has raised the alarm about a popular trend taking over homes which could be deadly.
TikTok is full of videos of neatly organised cleaning cabinets, filled with clear jars which have colourful cleaning solutions in them.
But cleaning expert Ann Russell has warned that this “aesthetic” trend could be deadly.
She explained: “There’s a reason you are constantly told to leave them in the packets – it is for safety.
“Somebody asked me if this was bad. It’s so bad I’m going to make a thing of it. Please don’t do this. Please. Don’t. Do. This.”
“If it comes in a box that you think the damp might get to, put the box in a plastic bag, and put a clip on it.
“If anything happens, if an animal, a child, or a human, gets into that, then there’s a problem.”
And if ingested by children, the consequences could be deadly – for instance, drain cleaner can kill someone quickly.
And without the labels on cleaning products, in case of emergency valuable time can be wasted looking for what cleaning product was ingested.
If your child or pet ingests any cleaning products, make sure to seek medical advice immediately.
Ann was clear with her point: labels can save lives, and by joining the trend on TikTok, you could endanger lives.
Another cleaning expert revealed the easy to do steps she takes to efficiently clean her home.
Often asked how she stays on top of housework, Lynsey, who goes by Queen of Clean on social media, revealed that she tries to do little things to spruce up as often as she can.
The cleaning expert was met with lots of praise in the comments section.
“Your videos are amazing!” one person wrote.
“Brilliant Lynsey,” added another.
Another clean freak shared her newfound love for a cleaning product which works better than bleach.
Cleaning fan Hannah Kaufman shared her transformation in a TikTok video online.
She said: “Finally a white floor without bleach! Cleaning my shower with The Pink Stuff!”
The DIY fan confessed she was struggling with keeping her bathtub white.
She said: “I clean the shower regularly and it would never get white.”
Hannah confessed she had never used the Pink Stuff before but wanted to use something other than bleach.
Viewers were very impressed with the transformation.
Many other cleaning fans pointed out the Pink Stuff worked great with a Scrub Daddy sponge.
