I’m really surprised at how many people have their why not to mix cleaning supplies wrong.
Bleach + ammonia can make chloramine gas by the bigger problem would be making NCl3 and blowing your toilet up.
Bleach + acid(like cleaning vinegar) is what makes chlorine gas that will auschwitz your bathroom.
Bleach + rubbing alcohol actually makes chloroform, which is fun.
Just as an aside, Chloroform is not fun. It’s not at all like it is portrayed in movies, where you splash a little on a rag and it will make someone pass out with no consequences.
Chloroform can render you unconscious in sufficient concentrations, but it will also cause brain damage and might kill you.
I mean, isn’t that all the more reason to take care of yourself? Nobody lives forever, but there are some terrible ways to go.
they dont want you mixing random chemicals, because they are worried you will make a special potion which gives you superpowers

I'm surprised how many people use bleach / bleach based products. You really don't need such aggressive stuff the majority of times. Regular cleaners work just fine. Or is that an US thing where bleach is in every cleaning product or something?

They bring guns everywhere for “defense” and drive gigantic trucks to the mall. No such thing as overkill in the USA

I’m in the U.K. and most people use bleach to clean their toilet and that’s it

Yeah, bleach only for the mould. Everything else is household disinfectant and soap solution.
