Chlorine-containing agents are effective aids in the fight against pollution.

However, not all housewives know that some surfaces should never be treated with chlorine.

Let's figure out what you should avoid using caustic household chemicals when washing.

What surfaces should not be washed with bleach

The first taboo is home floors. It's not even that chlorine can damage the floor covering, but rather its high toxicity and allergenicity.

Therefore, if there are small children and pets in the house, you should refrain from using household chemicals containing chlorine.

Chlorine is also harmful to wooden surfaces, especially those that do not have a protective varnish layer.

Do not use household chemicals with chlorine to clean plastic and metal surfaces. For the former, this is fraught with destruction, for the latter - with corrosion.

You should also avoid cleaning household appliances with bleach, as this may cause malfunctions.

And, as we mentioned above, chlorine-containing household chemicals should not be used for washing dishes due to their high toxicity.
