Things can still be used, but they are reluctant to throw them away!
A lot of people are very frugal, and things can last for many years.
But he didn't know that sometimes he would cause great harm to his family because of frugality.
In life, there are many things that have to be thrown away even if they are not broken, because they hide huge safety risks.
For example, these 5 daily necessities that you have inventory today, regardless of whether you have money at home or not, it is recommended that you throw them away in time, because it is too dangerous!
01
Dropped the coating of the pan
No matter how much the pot is, as long as it is coated, the life span does not exceed two years.
The surface of the non-stick pan is covered with a coating called "Teflon", which is stable below 260 degrees and will not release harmful substances, but if the coating falls off and is scratched and damaged during use, it will release harmful substances and pose a threat to our health.
Coated pots are usually replaced after two years of use, because the coating will always be scratched during use, and even if the damage is small, it will cause harmful substances to enter the food at high temperatures.
In particular, when the pot is dry-boiled, ultra-high temperature, or scraped with metal utensils, the speed of damage to the pot will be accelerated.
Therefore, even if the coated pot can still be used, as long as there are scratches, it must be replaced in time, otherwise it will be harmful.
Netizen @ Am I happy today:
I used to use a non-stick pan, but then I found that I changed at least three times a year, because the coating fell off I felt that I couldn't use it anymore, and then I replaced it all with an iron pot, but I didn't expect it to be too fragrant, and I made it hard, and the clams were all right, not stained at all.

Aging toilet water fixtures
In fact, the water parts of the toilet also have the problem of aging, but they are often ignored by everyone.
The most common problem with toilet water once it has deteriorated is that the water in the tank may flow back into the water pipe, which may sound a bit strange, but it is.
A netizen put a toilet cleaner in the toilet tank, and later found that the water flowing from the faucet was blue, and he guessed that the toilet water parts were aging and failing, causing the water in the toilet tank to flow back into the main water pipe.
Some people's toilet water parts are often broken, and there is a possibility of aging and failure, and if you don't replace it in time, you may be made to drink toilet water.
In order to avoid water pollution and potential health problems, it is necessary to regularly check whether the toilet water parts are in good condition and replace them in time when they are aging.
03
PVC plastic wrap
If you are using PVC plastic wrap and PVC table mats at home, it is recommended that you replace them.
Because this plastic wrap contains "plasticizers", plasticizers can increase the flexibility of the plastic wrap, but when it comes into contact with food, especially in a high temperature environment, the plasticizer will be released and leach into the food.
Plasticizers have been shown to interfere with the body's endocrine system, and long-term exposure may cause health problems such as cancer.
Therefore, it is recommended not to use PVC plastic wrap, especially in the microwave.
PE cling film, on the other hand, is much healthier, as it does not contain harmful plasticizers, is heat-resistant, and is suitable for storing and heating food.
Of course, it is better to use less plastic wrap at all, and it will be safer and more environmentally friendly to use glass or stainless steel containers.
Netizen @是Tuantuanya:
I'm afraid to think about it, the plastic wrap I commonly use at home is unqualified, I have been ignoring a point, after reading a news, I was scared to take a look at my household plastic wrap packaging bag, found that it is made of PVC, I also put it in the microwave oven to heat, steamed eggs in the pot, really hurt by ignorance.

Yellowed latex pillows
Hundreds of latex pillows, many people say that it is okay to use for 20 years, but in fact, latex pillows are not as durable as imagined.
Latex products have a service life, the service life of latex pillow is generally 2 to 3 years, and the best service life is 1-1.5 years.
Chinese people like a pillow for several years, in fact, it is extremely unhygienic, pillows are used every day, easy to breed bacteria and mites, no matter how good the pillow should be thrown away once a year.
You can disassemble the latex pillow to see the situation inside, after a few years of use, many latex pillows will turn yellow and fall off, and these dust and debris are great health and safety hazards.
Not only does it adhere to the skin, but it is even less friendly to rhinitis sufferers, and if you continue to use it, the dense crumbs will be sucked into the lungs through the respiratory tract.
In addition, if the latex pillow has been used for more than 5 years without slag, it is not because the quality is good, but because it is synthetic latex, or the pillow with a latex content of less than 50% does not have slag.
Therefore, the latex pillow should be replaced in 3 years at most, and it should be thrown away as soon as possible.
Netizen @阿啵次嘚:
After using the latex pillow for six or seven years, I found that it was seriously yellowing and slag, and there were some scabs, like toasting bread, which frightened me, as if I had suddenly found the cause of frequent dizziness, insomnia and dreams.

Moldy wooden cutting boards
Wooden cutting boards are prone to mold, and once signs of mold appear, it can be difficult to clean up because mold can penetrate deep into the cutting board.
Especially for spliced wooden cutting boards, it looks okay when washed clean, but it is likely that a lot of mold has grown inside.
The aflatoxin in mold is the strongest carcinogen and can cause a variety of health problems, and long-term use of such cutting boards is very likely to cause cancer.
In order to avoid hidden dangers, pay special attention when using wooden cutting boards, wash and dry them after use, and never soak them in water for a long time.
If you find that the cutting board is moldy, do not continue to use it and replace it quickly.
Netizen @leung Qing:
When I went home, I found that the cutting board at home was moldy like this, and my father was reluctant to throw it, saying that he could continue to use it by wiping it clean with a steel wool ball, and he didn't want to buy a new one if it didn't crack.
I really didn't understand the old man's thoughts, I said throw it away, otherwise I wouldn't dare to eat at home, and I lost my appetite when I thought of it being a dish cut out of this cutting board.
Summary at the end of the article:
Thrift is a virtue, but don't be ineffective.
There are many small objects in daily life, which seem to be usable, but in fact the service life has expired, we must pay special attention to it, and throw it away in time if we find that there is danger, so as not to cause irreversible damage to health.
