Every year, with the approach of spring, there is exciteme in Iranian homes. The lovely tradition of “house-shaking” isn’t just about dusting things; Rather, it promises freshness and the reviving of memories; But behind this pleasa commotion, there are dangers lurking that can turn the spring festival io a bitter memory.
Mojtabi Niband, one of the firefighting experts, warns that most of the tragic incides these days are rooted in two very simple factors, which include “hurry and fatigue”. In an ierview with Isna, he emphasized that by observing a few key pois, it is possible to preve accides that sometimes cause irreparable damage.
Mistake number one: deadly chemical cocktails
One of the most common and dangerous mistakes is mixing deterges together. This can produce toxic and very dangerous gases. Never, it is emphasized, never mix Vitex with salt ink or any other deterge. This combination releases chlorine gas, which causes serious and permane damage to the lungs and eyes.
Always leave windows open, wear masks and gloves when working with chemicals, and read product labels carefully. Also, never store these ingredies in drinking bottles; This is a mistake that seriously threatens children’s health.
Mistake number two: Electric shock in an insta
Before cleaning any electrical appliance, from the refrigerator to the TV, be sure to unplug it from the outlet. Coact with water or even wet hands with live electrical appliances can lead to severe electric shock. To be more sure, you can temporarily cut off the fuse of the part of the house where you are working.
Mistake number three: Falling from a height
Using slippery chairs or unstable tables instead of ladders is another major cause of house-shaking accides. Always use a safe and standard ladder on a flat surface, and it is better to have someone hold its legs for you. To clean the windows and facade of the building, never stand on the cornice or the edge of the terrace and use long-handled tees.
Mistake number four: sparking disaster
When cleaning the gas stove, be careful not to put pressure on the hose and its connections to avoid gas leakage. Do not use gasoline or thinner to remove grease stains from curtains or carpets. These materials are highly flammable and the smallest spark can start a large fire.
A vital piece of advice: don’t work alone
If you are alone at home, postpone heavy and risky tasks for another time. The presence of another person in the house means that in case of an accide, someone is there to help or call the emergency services.
Remember that your health is more importa than anything else. Divide the tasks io several days and give yourself enough rest. Safety first, work later.
