Can laundry detergent be carried in a stainless steel thermos cup?

As the epidemic situation improves, the flow of people in society has increased, especially the number of people traveling. There are also more opportunities for us to travel for work.

When seeing this title, some friends must have asked who else would use a stainless steel thermos cup to hold these substances? Don’t say it like that. I 100% believe that some of the friends who read this article must have or have thought about using stainless steel thermos cups to carry these substances. If you do, don’t raise your hands. After all, I can’t see it.

First of all, medical alcohol and non-high-purity alcohol can be carried in stainless steel thermos cups. As for high-quality liquor, you can also use stainless steel thermos cups to carry it, because alcohol is volatile but not corrosive, but high-purity alcohol is not. It does not mean that it is high-purity alcohol. Pure alcohol is highly corrosive, but high-purity alcohol is highly volatile.

However, if you use a stainless steel thermos cup to carry hand soap, washing powder and laundry detergent for a long time , because these substances are also corrosive, mainly acid and alkali corrosion, which will cause structural damage to the stainless steel water cup.

What I’m talking about today is not just a whim. Before the editor entered this industry, my colleagues on business trips actually used stainless steel water cups to fill washing powder. The empty water cups were still used as washing powder after cleaning. Although I feel it is inappropriate to use my own water cup for drinking water but I can’t explain the reason, discarded stainless steel water cups can indeed be reused.

Warm reminder: For safety reasons, it is not recommended that you use water cups to hold non-food grade items, which may cause accidental ingestion, especially if there are elderly people and children at home, so be especially careful.
