Dawn Power Dissolver : Update - Page 3

JuneBug · 05-08-08, 04:06

Hey Charles - relax bro, we can agree to dissagree can't we. Call me reckless and I'll laugh - it's friggin household cleaner not plutonium. Yeah, there are things you shouldn't do - like mixing bleach and ammonia, unless you want to take the external nap. But I've managed to make it this far without looking like a haz-mat team doing my chores.

I agree with you about us gettin fat, that is a preventable disease (in most cases) it's just a matter of eating healthy (in small portions) and gettin off the couch and doing something. When I farmed with my uncles (yeah, we grew tobacco) I was skinny. Now, sitting on my butt in a cubicle all day, it takes an effort to keep moving when I get home. But, my motivation is my kids, I got to be there for them as long as I can. - If the dawn doesn't get me - ha!

I checked the MSDS sheet for Power Dissolver...and seen no Butyl type product..

but it does contain

Monoethanolamine

MEA (monoethanolamine) is mainly used in sweetening natural gas and coal gas, and as soaps or amides in heavy-duty detergents. MEA is also used in the production of ethylene amines. You will find this in most laundry soaps also....
It is even is some anti bacterial hand soaps...

also it contain Lye in a less than 1% solution....

for your info...even Woolite contains LYE....

your welcome...lol....

I work at a Government truck repair facility....and OSHA came in and did some tests on the air quality and also tested some individuals ..and stopped us from using any Butyl type products...its some scary stuff...people in the shop were complaining of hand pains..headaches...breathing problems..it was all from Butyl type cleaners...it does absorb in by the skin...

We now use citrus type cleaners that are Butyl free and they work as good or better...I sent Pat300sx a bottle to try and he liked it....

its time to think green on cleaners .....and wear nitrile gloves when ever using any strong cleaners....and good ventilation....ever have a APC choke you....thats a bad sign....

Hey Al..what are those? How about the old style rubber gloves you used to wear washing dishes at the sink? I was thinking about getting those if I could find them for using wheel acid.

You can pick up Nitrile gloves at Home Depot. They carry all different types of protective gloves, and even have a chart to recommend a glove for the chemical you'll be working with.

I had XMT Pad cleaner choke me before - and that was at the sink with the window open. I think the only other thing was Bleach White and I learned to do the spray and dash when using that stuff (outside of course). Anybody remember the Simpson's when Homer mixed all the cleaners together and was in the basement with no vents? He started trippin like a LSD experience!

Don't diss on gloves and such. I don't use any of it, and I'm going to start - cuz these chemicals can't be good for me. Besides, the ladies love the soft hands.

I said it before, I brought up all that "hazmat"(not even remotely what I said, but whatever) stuff because the guy was going to use it in a steamer. Different ballgame.

If the dawn doesn't get to you? You grew tobacco? What's next, a rant about us young'ns and our shenanigans? Whatever chief. If you're going to tell me to chill, at least don't be so condescending about it.

I've made perfectly legitimate recommendations, and I'm sorry if some doofus is ashamed to wear gloves, or that it's not socially acceptable to wear a respirator because they don't look cool. Seriously, if you're going to bother me about it, go work at a place with real HAZMAT like I do. I guess it's become normal to care for my health mr health nut. I don't know whether this stuff is toxic, but when it turns your skin into a scaly mess, it can't be good for you.

I'm not trying to convince anybody, just throwing things out there for the betterment of anybody using something potentially dangerous. If you don't like it, keep it to yourself instead of trying to incite an argument on an internet forum.

PS- What's an external nap?

I used dawn power disolver today without gloves.. my hands have never been this dried out, it's kind of scary. Doesn't feel good at all.

I have a story to share

I cooked a lot in college, mostly spicy food. One day, my buddies and I discovered habaneros. All things internet recommended gloves when working with them. Pffft, I be good cook, me no need gloves.

So I cut one up, cleaned out some seeds, dropped it in my spaghetti sauce, went to do something else for an hour while the sauce simmered gently, then went to take a leak (note: I am male) before eating dinner.

I cried for half an hour straight.

I repeated the mistake 8 years later (last year).

I have this inherent knack for doing the dumbest things

A friend of mine did the same thing. Stood in the bathroom leaning over the sink for an hour with cold water running over his pecker wincing in pain the whole time. Never did understand why he didn't just jump in the shower? Would have been much easier than leaning over the sink.

He said Neosporene with pain reliever in it helped the most. Hope that helps should you ever make the mistake again.
