Hi, can anyone advise please on whether I would need to wear some form of skin protection when cleaning / sterilising FV's Cornies and boilers etc with Sodium Percarbonate?
I don't bother using gloves or other protection with chlorine based cleaner / steriliser, but understand that Sodium Percarbonate when diluted is a form of (or equivalent to) Hydrogen Peroxide, and I'm wondering if it is more caustic on the skin than chlorine based product?
Thanks

Are there any hazard warnings on the pot?

I am sure others can add but you might want to see the info on the Malt Miller site about it here.

Reminds me... I must buy some more.
I've not had any problems, but I don't tend to leave my hands immersed in it or in contact with it for any length of time otherwise I'd be tempted to wear a pair of gloves I think.
If you do have any issues with the bleaching effect of of the hydrogen peroxide though, I'm sure you'll be all white in the end

Re: Sodium Percarbonate and skincare
I wash my hands a lot so they are often red and cracking if I don't moisturise. I don't find Oxi cleaner on my hands much worse than soap, at the end of cleaning I just moisturise and it's all fine the next day.
On the website the Tesco's own brand Oxi cleaner just says it's a danger to eyes. Given it's a laundry stain remover I would expect to get it on my hands when using it so if it was damaging to skin I would expect they would detail it.

Thanks for the advice everyone, I'm using it as a cleaner before using Starsan to sanitise, no ill effects on the hands so far.
