CONCLUSIONS

1. Most of the household cleaning products can damage or irritate eyes and skin, and can also cause burning in skin. Almost all of the cleaning products contains
harmful chemical that can be very dangerous to kids and even adults. Bathroom and laundry cleaning products have the most active ingredients and the most present
active ingredient is the Linear alkylbenzene sulfonate. Most of the ingredients are also harmful and not safe to humans and most of them contains bleach.

MY REFLECTION
I realized that most of the cleaning products are effective but also harmful to humans, because of that I can use our cleaning products more carefully and keep it in
a area where kids can’t reach it so that they can be safe. Me and my family can be more aware of the products that we are using whether on how effective and
harmful it is.
