What household items are the byproducts of crude oil?

Answer:

Many household products are derived from crude oil. Some of them are:

  • plastic gadgets, tools, bags
  • candles
  • clothing (polyester, nylon)
  • hand lotions
  • perfumes
  • dishwashing liquids
  • ink
  • bubble gum
  • car tires
  • ammonia
  • heart valves
  • and many more
---- anything made of plastic, rubber, latex, vinyl, or polyester: the faux leather on your couch, the fibers in your carpet, the paint in your walls, the cases of most of your electronic devices, the soles (and likely the tops) of your shoes, and probably everything you're wearing that's not cotton, wool, leather or silk.
