Chemical Residue

Some chemicals leave a residue.  Chemical residue is a syrup like substance that is leftover from chemical usage- especially heavier industrial chemicals.  When one touches the chemical residue it gets on your hands and spreads to other things, including the food you eat.  I have found that chemical residue cannot ever be fully removed and can be very harmful to one's health.  It is absorbed through one's skin.

Chemical residue also causes property damage. I have yet to find any kind of cleaner that can fully remove chemical residue. One is left with the choice of throwing one's property away or continuing to be exposed to harmful chemicals. I have contacted the EPA and local health department about this matter.

Chemical residue exposures will continue to be a problem that causes harm and damage until people figure out how to resolve it.

Here is a list of chemicals that leave a residue: 

1.  Caulk
2. Automotive chemicals
3. Adhesives
4. Chemicals used in construction
5. Gun cleaner

Cleaning up chemical residue is never easy.  I have found that the following substances are somewhat helpful.  

1.  Baking soda
2. Vinegar
3. Goo gone
4. Rubbing alcohol
