How to Clean Up Sulfuric Acid Spills
Sulfuric acid is a strong acid that can burn through clothes and skin; making a sulfuric acid spill can be a potentially dangerous situation.
Before dealing with the sulfuric acid spill itself, first check yourself to see if any of the acid got on you — or anyone else who is around — and wash off/rinse thoroughly any acid found.
