Baby shampoo may be a useful and well-tolerated surfactant in the treatment of CRS. Chiu et al. (2008) showed that CRS patients experienced improved symptoms based on the SNOT-22 score and the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT). Similarly, Farag et al. (2013) reported improved symptoms based on the Rhinosinusitis Outcome Measure (RSOM-31) and the SNOT-22 questionnaire along with the phenyl ethyl alcohol (PEA) smell threshold test in patients who used baby shampoo solution as nasal irrigation.

Additionally, webs contaminated with heavy metals (obtained from adult males) were divided into three types of sample (N = 10), according to the way of treatment applied (the chosen webs were additional webs, not included in the experiment presented in Table 1). All webs were washed for gentle removal of exogenous contaminants (Cu and Pb). Decontamination of silk fibres was done with reagents recommended for hair decontamination [10]. This was completed for the 1st group: with organic solvents (e.g. acetone); for 2nd group: with deionised water; and for the 3rd group: with water + shampoo. The first group of samples was washed in an acetone-water–water–water–acetone sequence as the washing procedure for 30 min. Samples were then rinsed twice with de-ionised water, dried in the oven at 50°C to constant weight, and stored for analyses. The second group was washed twice with de-ionised water only, then dried in the oven at 50°C to constant weight. The third part was washed with baby shampoo + water twice and then dried in an oven at 50°C to constant weight. The shampoo ‘Bambi’ was from Pollena-Savona Sp. z o.o. (Katowickie Zakłady Chemii Gospodarczej, Poland) and contained no selenium compounds. Its composition was as follows: Aqua, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Chloride, Laureth 3, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Parfum (Amyl Cinnamal, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Hexyl Cinnamal, Limoenene) Panthenol, Citric Acid, Methylcholoroisothiazoline, Methylisothiazolinone and CI 191.
