How Dangerous are Lye Solutions?
Sorry if this is an unexpected post, but its hard to find people experienced with lye.
Basically, I was unclogging my bathtub with some lye based drain cleaner (ingredients are sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, and water), and I worry that a drop or two may have flown onto my clothes due to some tough to open packaging.
I took my clothes off and put them in my dirty clothes basket for now, but in doing some research, it seems these chemicals are quite noxious, so now I'm wondering if I'm better off throwing them out?
Is this too much worrying on my part? It really wouldn't have been more than a small drop or two (assuming any did get on my clothes in the first place).
