Adventures in housekeeping? Here's how NOT to turn your house cleaning into a toxic experiment:
Vinegar + Bleach = Chlorine Gas
Undiluted Bleach + Ammonia = Hydrochloric Acid + Chloramine Gas
Bleach + Dish Detergent (some) = Mustard Gas
Rubbing Alcohol + Bleach = Chloroform Gas
You can actually kill yourself while re-inventing WWI chemical warfare. I am not kidding... I have unfortunately tried two of these in my own home and you get dizzy, your eyes burn, and your lungs start to react almost immediately. You must go somewhere safe and breathe so you don't collapse, and air out the house for a few hours.
Be aware that some cleaners may not be clearly labelled as 'bleach', 'ammonia', or some substances (such as cat pee) are ammonia but you may not be aware that they are.
Be careful out there... I want you Lazy, not Sick!
