Recently there is a popular kitchen craft "sponge wipe" is very controversial, on the one hand it is easy to use, suitable for cleaning uneven, deep stubborn dirt, does not leave traces, decontamination only need water, you do not need any detergent.white eraser sponge On the other hand, it causes cancer. Finally, it will not cause cancer, through the query information, to make some analytical judgment, just for reference.

"Magic Eraser", scientific name nano sponge magic eraser, is a kind of porous material with good water absorption, which can be used to clean things. The biggest difference with the traditional cleaning sponge is physical decontamination. It relies on the nanoscale capillary structure in the sponge to automatically adsorb stains on the surface of objects when wiping, thus achieving the effect of stain removal.

Why is it said that it will cause cancer, mainly because the nano sponge contains formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is highly toxic and has long been identified by the World Health Organization as a carcinogenic and teratogenic substance. Long-term exposure to low levels of formaldehyde can also cause chronic respiratory diseases, menstrual disorders, pregnancy syndromes, and memory and intellectual decline in adolescents.

It is undeniable that all available data recognizes that nano sponges contain formaldehyde. But does this mean that nano-sponges can cause cancer? I don't think we can generalize. Because it is certainly useless to talk about toxicity without a dose.

One of the characteristics of formaldehyde is extremely soluble in water, nano sponge pore network structure has been up to 95% or more, easy to absorb water. So I think even if the nano sponge city inside some formaldehyde, dissolved in water after the residue is very little, also does not have any toxicity. And there are some high-grade points, such as an independent packaging of the kind of cultural products, there are instructions for the company factory after the deformalization of information processing, that requires a more systematic security. This is also from a side analysis shows that the formaldehyde on the nano sponge can be removed.

When using nano sponge, the newly purchased cleaning sponge soaked in water for a period of time, and then rinsed with water a few times, placed in a ventilated place to blow dry before use. So the formaldehyde almost dissipates. Try to use it only to clean the heavy stains on the surface of the pots and pans, if the inside is indeed wiped with the sponge, then use more water to clean the pots and pans, then the water stain control of the pots and pans can be dried.

If your friends are not comfortable with cleaning sponges, you can use the most traditional old loofah core to wash dishes. The physical structure of loofah core is similar to sponge, good cleaning effect, and because it is pure plant, non-toxic and harmless.
