On the Safety of Hydrogen Peroxide in Dishwashers
This article explores whether hydrogen peroxide is safe to use in dishwashers. Hydrogen peroxide, which is oxidizing, is used in many cleaning scenarios. However, when used in dishwashers, its safety needs to be carefully examined.
From the perspective of chemical properties, hydrogen peroxide can be decomposed into water and oxygen under certain conditions, and this decomposition process may occur in the dishwasher. If the dishwasher parts are not oxidized-resistant materials, long-term contact with hydrogen peroxide may cause corrosion. For example, if the dishwasher liner is ordinary plastic, it may be aged and brittle after long-term action of hydrogen peroxide, which will reduce the service life of the dishwasher.
In terms of the balance between cleaning effect and safety, an appropriate amount of hydrogen peroxide can indeed enhance the cleaning power of the dishwasher, such as decomposing oil stains and killing bacteria. However, if the concentration is not properly controlled, it will remain on the tableware, which may pose a threat to human health. If people use tableware that has been cleaned with high concentration of hydrogen peroxide for a long time and has not been cleaned, or irritate the oral, gastrointestinal mucosa, etc.
The operating specifications are also concerned with safety. When the dishwasher uses hydrogen peroxide, if the addition process is not in accordance with the standards, such as directly dumping high concentration hydrogen peroxide into the dishwasher, or causing local violent oxidation reactions, damaging the machine, and even dangerous.
In summary, the safety of hydrogen peroxide used in dishwashers is based on material adaptation, precise concentration control, and operation compliance. Only by taking all factors into account can we ensure the safe and efficient operation of the dishwasher and the health of the user.
