What are toxic objects? There are things that are charged with negativity or they simply take up useful space.

However, it is worth talking separately about toxic items that are of no use.

Old perfume bottles

Many people keep the packaging of old perfumes without even suspecting the danger. In perfumes you can find:

1) Linalol.

2) Cveton.

3) Camphor.

4) Benzaldehyde.

5) Ethyl acetate and other chemicals.

Storing perfume does not bring any benefit to the human body. And if the perfume is near the bed, it will only cause harm.

When inhaling a substance from perfume, the following undesirable effects may occur:

• nausea;
• drowsiness;
• irritation of eyes, skin;
• respiratory problems;
• headaches and much more.

If old bottles need to be kept for some reason, it is better to allocate a separate shelf for them. Everyone should understand the key fact: all unnatural fragrances are harmful to the human body.

Empty plastic bottles

Many people keep plastic bottles because they see the point in it. The bottles can then be used in everyday life with benefit.

For example, many housewives prepare compote and immediately pour it into plastic bottles. But is everything so simple? Plastic bottles can contain toxic chemicals that are dangerous for the human body. If possible, it is better to throw away all plastic bottles, replacing them with glass ones.

Shower Curtains

Calling shower curtains dangerous is a stretch, and many people may disagree with such advice. But why not pay attention to the details?

Shower curtains start to develop mold and mildew after about a month. If you use shower curtains for a year or more, the harm to your body will be enormous.

Experts recommend cleaning the shower curtain every 2 months. It can be removed and washed in the washing machine, adding vinegar to the rinse compartment.

Insect Sprays

Many people keep insect sprays in a visible place, because they will need to be used at the most unexpected moment.

As practice shows, such sprays are stored in the kitchen, because this is where cockroaches and other insects most often appear. Why does no one read the information from the manufacturers?

Any sprays should not be kept in the kitchen, because even when closed, they can transfer negative substances to other products, making them dangerous.

Air fresheners

Air fresheners have become indispensable helpers for many people. But what is their use? Any air fresheners only mask unpleasant odors, there is no talk of a real effect.
