How can bathroom and kitchen chemicals become deadly?
Ammonia and bleach are very irritating and actually have a reactive compound in cleaning products that if you ever mix the two of them together you can actually create an explosion in your bathroom. We are talk about bad chemistry in the bathroom this is the ultimate that can happen because Chlorine bleach again is very high in Chlorine and is very reactive so that it can react with drain cleaner, it can react with anything acidic in your bathroom and it can also react with Ammonia. So if you are using multiple cleaning products at once you could be releasing Chlorinegas into your Bathroom.Now Chlorine gas was used during World War I to kill off the enemy it is very damaging and irritating to the lungs. It can also damage porcelain.We tell a story what we know of a toxic fire where actually a woman tried to unclog her drain. She did not have any drain clog – a drain un-clogger handy. So she poured some bleach down the drain. Well that did not unclog the drain – as a matter of fact the bleach tended to stay in the pipes. That went down to some degree it did not unclog the drain but you know left her basin, stayed in the pipes and then she poured down some – she went to the store bought some drain un-clogger - that reacted, when she poured that down – that reacted with the bleach that was still in the pipes and that left and released Chlorine gas into her bathroom. She gagged on it, shut the bathroom door – left, called her Husband told her what happened he was at work did some fishing around on the Internet and found out that can that can actually lead to an explosion type reaction. Called the Fire Department, they came out and they ventilated her bathroom for her. But found that the porcelain in her bathroom on her fixtures had been etched out by the high levels of Chlorine Gas released into her bathroom. So Chlorine and Ammonia, Chlorine and other products – bleach and these kinds of products are an accident waiting to happen.
