My husband and I were cleaning the bathroom...my mom-in-laws bathroom and while cleaning it...both my husband and i started coughing and spluttering and feeling rather ill. So obviously, being the HSE freak that I am...I say "Where did you get this stuff? I'm sure its not safe for normal people!?" My mum in law then told me that it was the product they needed to buy to keep the grantee on the Shower.....??
So i googled the company....and then promptly googled the MSDS for the "Shower Gloss" Product.
The flaws I found were endless!!
On the actual product it states " Mild Acid for cleaning your shower" and then has a list of things to do in an emergency. Not any directions. No web address to say "further instructions available on the product"...no...none of that! This product is given to housewives....not people with masters or PHD's in this stuff! They wouldn't have the foggiest IDEA what an MSDS is.
So reading through the MSDS and this is what came up!
- The mild acid is listed as "pH 2"
- The product is listed as acutely toxic....????
- The product is not allowed to be used in confined spaces....so what is a shower exactly? Or a bathroom for that matter of fact.
- When heated - sunlight styles - it releases toxic fumes?
- Now one of my favorites - is reactive with alkali's...now for those of you who aren't familiar with household alkali's....glass cleaner is one. Now if I was not in possession of the information...I would happily clean my shower with this stuff...splutter through the cleaning and then clean the glass on the inside and outside with glass cleaner....but no...it releases MORE toxic fumes!
- To use you need to wear chemical goggles, and gloves....that wasn't mentioned on the packaging.....
