M2.3 Household Products

Windex: Multi-Surface

I chose to look up Windex Multisurface cleaner because it is something I use in my home often. I was particularly interested in this product because of the potent smell. I was surprised to discover that the product was considered "slightly" harmful. I'll be more aware of keeping it away from surfaces where food is handled though.

Another very potent smell I come across is oven cleaner. Not only does it have a strong scent, but also causes coughing when inhaled. I usually hold my breath when spraying it. (I suppose that should have been a sign that I shouldn't be using it ). The can also has a lot of precautionary instructions and disclaimers to avoid fires, eye irritation, and skin irritation. 
The health rating in the item is considered moderate, which is surprising. I thought it'd be much higher.

  1. Selenne I am glad that you chose Windex because that is a product that I didn't even think about checking and I use it just about everyday. I thought that it would have been more hazardous because of the smell as well. I am glad that easy off put precautionary instructions on their can. It shows that they their not out to trick their customers.

  2. Hi Selenne, Thank you for sharing your post.
    My wife also use the Easy Off to remove the grease and it had strong smell. I think it will be more safe to use gloves and mask to protect form skin irritation and inhalation.
