Cross contamination and splatter is a good thing. How useful is this if you miss the face and can only manage chest or legs? Worried about that.

Its got to hit the face, it will burn the eyes and iratate the nasal passages

The range is about 18' so it has a lot of pressure propelling the stream if you hit in the upper body region it is going to splatter and probably go up into the face area. It is also thick so once it hits skin it sticks and burns.

Hi, I am not in medical field but I can tell you this: I would have this product with me when I'm going into mountains miles away from civilization. If i ever was injured with heavy bleeding far away from medical assistance and I have to drag myself out by myself.. I won't care doctor or medic has to clean up my wound before appropriate treatment. I would rather get out of whatever the situation alive, see my family alive.Since i own the product already, I will make sure to have it in my pack. I am sure i will regret it if i dont, if i ever was injured and cant control bleeding. Tho, it might only be 10min or less that I have to regret.

That sounds like a terrifically terrible idea. I don't know your specific situation, but generally if you are in a cast, you'll want to keep that foot/leg as immobile as possible. It sucks, but you should just focus on healing. The cast cover also doesn't provide enough of a seal to be submerged under water. Lay on the couch, watch movies, and good luck.

Almost forgot to say that Snazaroo is the safest to use for face painting. Try looking that up as well.

Foot soaks are wonderful. The pours on your feet can release a multitude of toxins. Most of us in houses don't want it draining into our septic systems either. I use the foot soaks. Enjoy!!!

I use it straight wearing rubber gloves and a microfiber cloth. I smetimes use a modified mop to get hard to reach areas. The stuff is pretty caustic, so you don't want to be in confined areas. I always wash with soap and water, and rinse real well to get the residues off. Works great for taking most water related stains off the gel coat.

I have covered my food when I want to retain moisture. When I know I'm going to cook food that is going to splatter I slide old newspapers around and under the grill. I know it seems like a lot of trouble but I it is a lot easier than cleaning up a greasy mess. I learned that the hard way.

You can use a regular grocery bag and half a paper towel at the bottom to reduce splatter. It wont be pretty but it should work.

I'm sorry I can't answer this question firsthand. I got this for my mom and she really likes it -- so far no complaints. She has never said a negative word about it so I'm assuming that is not an issue. Anyway, a little water on one's bottom is good for it; a nurse knows these things! Good luck!

Yes, I think so. I have used it that way and just put a saucepan in back of it to hold steady. I do like this splatter guard but wish it were just a couple of inches taller. But I am planning on getting another as I use it so often!

Yes it is good for both hands and feet ... I like it on both. I don't consider it messy, you can alway throw away the plastic bag after you're done with it and just put the container away. As for the time it takes to melt, I found it helps to break up the wax into pieces and I found additional wax at the grocery store also, which helps.

I would like you to imagine the diameter of a large coffee can (I don't know if you remember those old blue Folgers' ones? The metal ones that held about two pounds of coffee?), the top of the protecter is a solid plastic ring about that wide. Now, imagine a thick offwhite piece of rubber on top of that; in the center of the stretchable piece of rubber is a hole, I'd say about two inches. You stretch that open as wide as you can manage (probably best if it is you and another person) and you "slide" your foot inside. It's actually not that easy to "slide" a heavily banaged foot in; my mother shattered her ankle and after surgery had staples holding her wound together so the doctor wrapped her foot all the way up to her knee with an assortment of bandages that added about five inches in diameter to her leg. It was a [insert explitive here] to get that thing on her; you need to have some serious upper body strength and at least four hands holding that opening open. Once it was up; even though that rubber was supposed to keep the water out, it still managed to leak in. We managed --over the next eight days-- to use saran wrap both under and over the cast protector to prevent the water from entering her (as my mother called it) leg condom until the stitches could (and by extension the banadge bulk) be removed. Also, if you have a handheld shower hose or a rain shower and you are using a chair in your tub/showerstall, try to avoid allowing it near your "leg condom" it will reduce the amount of water that will try and seep in. Yeah, injuries/surgeries are not fun at all. I hope this helps and good luck.

The product is recommended for appliances, countertops, ranges, backslashes, etc. While it would almost certainly clean flatware, the product is hazardous if swallowed, and you'd have to make sure to remove ALL residue (down to the molecular level) to be safe. I would not feel comfortable with that kind of responsibility, and therefore would recommend using something designed to on eating utensils for flatware. For the recommended purposes, though, this product is the best there is. It does a phenomenal job cleaning my range, fridge, oven, and microwave - even on stains that I was unable to remove with many other cleaners!

I only use it on my face, neck, and hands. I think it's safe for most of the body, you would need to adjust suction to diff. areas so it doesn't bruise.

I think the boiling water instructions are provided to kill any little nasty threats, like e-coli or salmonella you find typically in kitchens and bathrooms. This could be a smart yet time consuming process, especially if you use no chemicals in conjunction with these wipes to clean said areas in your home. Cross contamination could be a big concern if they are not laundered straight away or if one wipe is used to clean multiple areas. My washer has a very hot setting, ideal for this purpose. Most people use these without issue, hopefully. However IF my boys ever cleaned our kitchen or bathrooms, I've taught them to use paper towels and bleach.

It's safe and non-toxic and it cleans great. But I would check with your local health department first. The manufacturer could probably email you a MSDS (material safety data sheet) to submit to your agency.

DO NOT USE ON TODDLERS unsupervised! and seniors with thin more fragile skin. If you are thinking about using them for a age group with thin or tender skin like a toddler or senior, put them in a Pot Holder pouch, this reduces chances of burning, check often, if the skin turns pink, remove as the product needs more padding. It's to hot for that person with out more padding. Each of the different products they make rise to a different heat level. The large 18 hr one reaches up to 140 degrees, and can blister unprotected skin. I use the small hand ones, but I still put them in a Pot Holder pouch. Which in turn I pin in place over the area of my lumbar that hurts, and I can't get fixed. It's like having a 24 hr heating pad. If I didn't use the Hot Hands I would not be mobile, as it reduces the pain level. The smaller hand size do not get as hot as the larger ones. Not tried the ones for feet or that stick to your skin. As a senior, my skin is fragile, so I steer clear of anything that adheres to my skin. Hope my experience with Hot Hands has helped answer your questions. They are safe to use, read the directions though. Be aware of the fragility of the skin of the person who is using them. I can handle the small ones with out padding for a short while with my hands, but to put it on the more tender skin of my back, I use the Pot Holder to mute the heat to a lower level, which makes it just like low on a heating pad that you plug in. The key is the person's skin fragility, because even on low a plug in heating pad can burn a person. Which is why the newer ones have a 2 hr timer in them.If they are going into mittens, you could wrap them in some thing like a wash cloth to mute the amount of heat. Keep checking at area, if it is pink it is going into the burn phase.
