If you want to avoid wasting your time or getting seriously injured, never mix the following cleaning products:
Bleach + Vinegar= Chlorine Gas
Chlorine gas is released when you mix bleach and vinegar. Chlorine gas can irritate and burn your eyes and lungs. According to the Center For Disease Control (CDC), exposure to chlorine gas can cause blurred vision, coughing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, fluid in the lungs, nausea, vomiting, watery eyes, wheezing, and burning sensation in the nose, throat, and eyes.
Bleach + Rubbing Alcohol= Chloroform
The reaction between bleach and rubbing alcohol creates chloroform, among other products. According to the CDC, chloroform, if absorbed through the skin, can cause irritation, dizziness, loss of judgment, loss of consciousness, among other problems.
Bleach + Ammonia= Chloramine Gases
According to the Washington State Department of Health, exposure to chloramine gases can cause coughing, nausea, shortness of breath, watery eyes, chest pain, wheezing, fluid in the lungs, and irritation to throat, nose, and eyes.
Vinegar + Hydrogen Peroxide= Paracetic Acid
With a low pH of 2.8, paracetic acid can irritate the membranes in your lungs, skin, and eyes.
Vinegar + Baking Soda= Ineffective Cleaning Solution
Although this mixture is often recommended in different blogs, it is ineffective. The reaction between vinegar and baking soda produces mainly water and a bit of sodium acetate. Sodium acetate is what is added to chips to give them a flavor of vinegar with salt. Considering that this mixture produces mainly water, it is preferable to use vinegar and baking soda separately.
In summary, when it comes to cleaning products, the best thing you can do is to use them for their intended purposes and never mix them.
