Thoughtfully selecting your cleaning attire is important for safety reasons. Here are three key hazards during house cleaning:
Hazards to Consider
Chemicals
Cleaning products contain strong ingredients that can be harmful to your skin.
Pests
Bugs, fleas, and ticks pose bite risks during cleaning.
Dirt
Dust and mold can cause illness if you're not protected.
Recommended Clothing
Tops
Cotton shirts offer comfort and adequate skin protection while remaining breathable and easy to launder.
Bottoms
Thick fabric pants, particularly denim, shield legs from insect bites and hazardous substances.
Gloves
Always wear gloves to protect hands from harsh chemicals. Your hands come in contact with more contaminates while cleaning than other parts of your body. Unprotected cleaning can cause dry skin and brittle nails.
Aftercare
Launder worn clothes immediately after cleaning, followed by a warm shower.
