Never Mix These
Everyday cleaners that turn dangerous together
1
Bleach + Vinegar
Makes toxic chlorine gas.
2
Bleach + Ammonia
Makes toxic chloramine fumes.
3
Bleach + Rubbing alcohol
Can make chloroform fumes.
4
Vinegar + Hydrogen peroxide
Makes irritating peracetic acid.
If mixed by accident: leave the room, get fresh air, and call your local poison control.
Stain First Aid
What to do first, before the stain sets
1
Coffee
Blot, then rinse with cold water.
2
Red wine
Blot, cover with salt, rinse cold.
3
Grease
Dish soap + warm water. Blot.
4
Blood
Cold water only — never hot.
Blot, don’t rub — rubbing spreads the stain and pushes it deeper.
