Tips for Safely Using Oxalic Acid

Oxalic acid is a useful household chemical that is used as stain-lifter and bleaching agent. Oxalic acid is toxic and very corrosive when it is in its pure form that is why when dealing with Oxalic acid, safety must be the first priority. Here are some tips for the safe handling of Oxalic acid.

1. Use Protective Gears

When mixing and applying Oxalic acid you should wear protective gears such as rubber gloves, safety mask and safety glasses. The rubber gloves are necessary to prevent your skin from being exposed to the Oxalic acid. The safety masks and safety glasses are essential to avoid lung and eye irritation. It is also advisable to wear a long-sleeve shirt when dealing with Oxalic acid to prevent Oxalic acid exposure to your entire arms.

2. Work in Well-ventilated Area

When mixing Oxalic acid it is best to work in a well-ventilated area. If you cannot work outdoor make sure that all the windows and doors are open to avoid inhaling the toxic fumes of Oxalic acid.

3. Have a Pail of Water in Hand

A pail of water is very useful when dealing with Oxalic acid. If you begin to experience skin and eye irritation or spill over some Oxalic acid on the floor, immediately rinse your skin and eye with water and pour some water on the spilled Oxalic acid as well.
