A few weeks ago I’ve bought a pump-sprayer/mister to make watering easier.
I remember washing it a few times before first use, but just yesterday I noticed that there still was a lingering strong plastic smell inside.
I will obviously not use that any longer, but now I’m worried that it may have hurt my Ts.
I’ve been checking on other plastic stuff that I use. The plastic plant I use comes from a reptile/pet-supply company called Lucky Reptile, and it also has a very slight smell to it. I’m probably overthinking it now but I’m just not sure anymore what is normal and what’s potentially dangerous.
The sprayer also came from a pet-company, shouldn’t that stuff be safe? These sprayers all look exactly the same btw, so I wouldn’t be surprised if people in the US get the same ones made in China that we get in Europe.
Maybe most people don’t care or don’t notice it or this isn’t something to worry about, but maybe anybody from Europe has recommendations for good sources to get safe, quality equipment? Especially for fake plants, since companies never seem to state what exact material was used.
