The mother of three children almost got poisoned to death, trying to clean the clogged toilet. The woman had to call rescuers who could not enter her house without special breathing apparatus.
Dominic Heath from the suburbs of London used two bottles of ordinary cleaning products for each store to clean the toilet bowl. As a result of her efforts, she accidentally filled the house with deadly gaseous chlorine, writes New York Post.
The woman said that she poured cleaning products down the toilet, suspecting that one of her young children sent too much toilet paper there, which caused the clog. She decided she would pour as much cleaner as possible into the plumbing fixture. It should work, Heath decided. But soon she felt a strong burning sensation in her eyes and throat.
Realizing that something was wrong, she called the local rescue service. The operator told her to leave the house as soon as possible. Arriving at the scene, rescuers cordoned off a part of the road near the entrance to the dwelling.
Chlorine gas, which is used as a chemical weapon, is so toxic that rescuers had to wear special breathing apparatus when they entered Hit's house. The accommodation was rendered harmless using special technologies and was fully aired.
Heath used two bottles of One Shot Pipe Cleaner, a standard product with other names sold in every country including the United States. Most likely, the amount she poured down the toilet played a fatal role.
The woman shared her story to warn other housewives. According to her, people are not always aware of how toxic conventional cleaning products can be when used improperly.
Heath and her family were able to return home only after a day.
“It was really serious,” the woman admitted. “We're all okay, but that was the biggest stupidity in my life. Please don't do that! "
