household chemicals

Under-sink products

Household chemicals are substances kept in homes for cleaning, maintenance, or pest control—bleach, ammonia, drain cleaners, insecticides, and the like.

The term typically appears in safety contexts: warnings about mixing household chemicals, keeping them away from children, or disposing of them properly.

Never mix household chemicals without knowing what reactions might occur.
