6 dangerous combinations of detergents and the serious effects on our health

Dangerous combinations of detergents can become toxic and cause serious health problems.

Dangerous detergent combinations: Under certain conditions can cause serious health problems

Cleaning the house is a daily routine and this means that detergents are often used, which contain strong chemicals that under certain conditions can cause serious health problems.

Dangerous detergent combinations: Avoid the risk of accidents

See below which detergents you should never mix to prevent the risk of accidents.

Ammonia and bleach

The combination can produce toxic chloramine vapors. If you inhale these vapors you may experience breathing problems and burns to the throat. Make sure you read the labels on the cleaning products before mixing them to avoid accidents.

Vinegar and bleach

When you mix an acidic product with bleach, chlorine and chloramine gases are released, which are toxic and can cause chemical burns to your lungs or eyes.

Hydrogen peroxide (oxygen) and vinegar

The combination produces peracetic acid, which is corrosive and in high concentrations can damage the skin, eyes, throat, nose and lungs. These two products can be used on the same surface (as long as it is dry between applications), but they cannot be mixed in the same container.

Alcohol and bleach

The mixture of these two products creates chloroform, the exposure of which causes dizziness and nausea. Exposure to high levels of chloroform can lead to damage to the nervous system, eyes, lungs, skin, liver, kidneys and even death.

Toilet bleach and cleaners

The mixture of these two products causes the release of toxic gases that are responsible for respiratory problems and tearing.

Different obstructions

If the pipes are clogged, do not mix different blocking products, as this may cause chlorine gas to be released or even explode. Also avoid throwing blockages in the pipes one after the other.
