Q1:How can you tell that a bottle contains a dangerous chemical?

[Answer]

We use chemicals around the home every day. To do their job properly, some chemicals have to work very hard and are very strong. Caustic soda is a chemical sold for cleaning ovens and drains by dissolving grease. Bleach is used to clean our toilets and get rid of germs.

It is always best to use chemicals with household gloves – so there is no risk of spilling it onto the skin. All these chemicals have special warning symbols on the bottles.
