So worried!! What happens if you get alittle Brasso Polisher in your eye?
I got brasso to clean my ipod and i'm worried about how harmful this stuff is. The lid requires u to pull on it to break the seal. So i pulled the lid off and i felt a bit of brasso flew into my left eye. I wish this stuff wasn't liquid form so it couldn't do that.....I didn't feel any irritation but i went to wash my eyes just incase for 5 minutes although it says to do it for 15 minutes. Nothings wrong with my eye though and it's been 2 days since i used it. I read that there's ammonia in it and that stuff is stated to cause blindness, lung damage if you splash it directly into your eye. It was only 10 - 15% Ammonia..... but i'm still very worried. Will my eye be okay?
Worst of all it didn't even clean my ipod and leaves and strong smell that won't wash away on my gadget.
I looked up the MSDS for Brasso to see what the issue is. based on what I read, it appears to be a petroleum-based solvent that isn't a lot different from mineral spirits or paint thinner.
Although this sort of stuff is not good to be splashing into your eye, I would expect any real damage to be apparent pretty quickly following the accident. Maybe something like blurry vision or an area of distortion would be a sign of some damage. You do not seem to have suffered any such acute effects, so I do not think you have too much to worry about.
I think you can relax and chalk it up to experience. Amazing how easy it is to hurt yourself even with household chemicals.
