If you spill highly concentrated chemicals on your clothes how should you clean them?

  1. Clean them in a washing machine

  2. Don’t, dispose of them properly

  3. Rinse them thoroughly with water and reuse

  4. Clean them with bleach

The correct answer is: Clean them in a washing machine

If you spill highly concentrated chemicals on your clothes, you should not attempt to reuse them as this may lead to skin irritation or chemical burns. Option C may seem like a quick solution, but it will not completely remove the chemicals and may cause harm when the clothes are worn again. Option D is also not recommended as bleach can react with certain chemicals and cause toxic fumes. The best option is to clean the clothes in a washing machine with detergent to thoroughly remove any traces of the chemicals. It is important to follow proper disposal guidelines for the chemical containers to prevent environmental contamination.
