Do Not Mix Cleaning Products

CleaningCleaning Products

Mixing cleaning products is extremely dangerous! Different cleaners can react chemically, producing toxic gases or other harmful substances, which can be life-threatening in severe cases. For your safety and the safety of your family, be sure to follow the rule that cleaning products should not be mixed.

Warning

  • It is absolutely forbidden to mix chlorine-based cleaners (such as bleach) with acidic cleaners (such as toilet bowl cleaner or rust remover). Mixing them will produce chlorine gas, which, when inhaled, can irritate the respiratory tract, causing coughing, difficulty breathing, and even pulmonary edema and death.

Dos and Don'ts

Do this

  • Before using a cleaning product, carefully read the product label to understand its ingredients and instructions for use.

  • Use each cleaning product separately. Do not use multiple cleaning products at the same time.

  • After using one cleaning product, rinse thoroughly before using the next.

  • If you need to use multiple cleaning products to clean the same area, it is recommended to wait at least 30 minutes between applications.

Don't do this

  • Do not pour different types of cleaning products into the same container.

  • Do not mix cleaning products in poorly ventilated environments.

  • Do not blindly mix cleaning products if you are unsure of their ingredients.

  • Do not mix cleaning products with disinfectants (unless the product specifically states that they can be mixed).
