What should you do if you spill chemical on your clothes?

  1. Dry out the clothes

  2. Keep wearing the clothes

  3. Remove clothes, wash area thoroughly with soapy water, etc.

  4. Brush off the chemical

The correct answer is: Remove clothes, wash area thoroughly with soapy water, etc.

If you spilled a chemical on your clothes, you should definitely not keep wearing them as the chemical may cause damage to your skin or spread to other parts of your body. Option A (dry out the clothes) is not a solution as the chemical should be removed from the clothes immediately. Option D (brush off the chemical) may not effectively remove all of the chemical and could potentially spread it around. The best course of action is to follow option C and remove the clothes, wash the affected area with soapy water thoroughly to ensure all of the chemical is removed, and then properly dispose of the contaminated clothing. This will help prevent any potential harm or damage to your skin or health.
