Everyone has that moment. You're cleaning, music playing, gloves on, holding bottles in each hand like a superhero. But hold on! Before turning your sink into a chemistry experiment, let’s talk real. Combining cleaning products isn’t just pointless—it can be deadly.

The big concern is mustard gas. It may sound like a relic from history, but it’s what you create when you mix bleach with ammonia or vinegar. Instead of sparkling clean, you get toxic fumes that can harm your lungs, irritate your eyes, and land you in the emergency room.

Here are some dangerous mixes to avoid at all costs:

• Bleach + Ammonia = Chloramine Gas. This can cause serious breathing problems, not a fresh breath of air.
• Bleach + Vinegar = Chlorine Gas. It causes coughing, burning eyes, and nausea—definitely not what you want.
• Hydrogen Peroxide + Vinegar = Peracetic Acid. It’s too strong and can damage surfaces or cause skin irritation.
• Mixing different drain cleaners = Chemical volcano. It’s not a fun science project; it’s a disaster waiting to happen.

Remember, cleaning products are strong alone. They aren’t drinks to be mixed. Labels exist to keep you safe. Following instructions isn’t just a tip—it’s a must.
