Dry cleaners often use some chemical reagents to dissolve stains on clothes, such as tetrachloroethylene to dissolve oil stains. Banana oil is used to remove pigment and grease stains. Ammonia can eliminate mold and sweat; hydrogen peroxide is used to bleach high-quality cotton and silk. Sodium hypochlorite is a decontamination material for white cotton and linen fabrics.

Among them, tetrachloroethylene is an effective chemical reagent. Hydrogen peroxide and sodium hypochlorite are very corrosive. Ammonia is also a toxic substance. If workers are exposed to these chemicals, they usually experience dizziness, itchy skin, allergies and other symptoms. Long-term exposure can cause loss of coordination, memory and unresponsiveness. Some studies have shown that tetrachloroethylene is still a carcinogen.

Therefore, remind you that dry cleaners should do physical protection work.

1. Hand protection

The choice of gloves should have a certain chemical resistance, and should maintain the flexibility of the hand. Industrial grade rubber or disposable nitrile gloves are good choices.

2. Respiratory protection

When working, please choose a suitable gas mask or gas mask and work in a ventilated environment.
