Household Cleaning Hazards: Expert Warns Against Dangerous Chemical MixturesA recent video from Covirán España has shed light on critical safety precautions when using common household cleaning products, emphasizing combinations that can produce toxic fumes or corrosive substances.According to the expert in the video, bleach should never be mixed with hot water, as this can release highly toxic vapors. For laundry, if bleach is used, the water temperature should not exceed 30°C.Another dangerous combination highlighted is vinegar with active oxygen cleaner. While effective individually, mixing them can generate a highly corrosive acid.Ammonia, similar to bleach, should not be combined with hot water, abrasive detergents, or bleach itself. The video stresses that ammonia should only be mixed with cold or lukewarm water, or a neutral soap. Bleach also should not be mixed with bicarbonate, degreasers, or hydrogen peroxide, with the latter being identified as one of the most dangerous combinations.To ensure safety, the video advises always using these products in well-ventilated areas. If proper ventilation is not possible, wearing a mask is recommended. Crucially, the expert strongly advises the consistent use of protective gloves, especially reinforced ones, to prevent skin exposure to harsh chemicals. This vital information aims to help households clean safely and avoid potential health risks.
