My thought exactly. Also she should be wearing a mask.

@mrsillywalk - i would love to know why you believe she should wear gloves or a mask?

the reason that white gloves are sometimes encoraged in libraries is to prevent the transfer of dirt (and skin oils) onto a sheet of paper- however gloves wil reduce the wearers senstivity so he/she may cause more damage.therefore clean hands pose much less risk.

while 100% ammonia is harmful, most household cleanind products would contain more harmful chemicals that what is being used here.
