👉 Triclosan is a chemical that's used as a surfactant to help clean and protect clothes when washing them. It comes in two main forms: Triton X-100, which is toxic to mammals; and Triton X-87, which can be harmful to fish and other marine life.
In an edgy context, imagine a chef who uses a dish cleaner made from triclosan degrading her food preparation. The dish cleaner may leave behind residue that's hard to clean up effectively, leading to unpleasant results in the kitchen.
