Things NOT to mix

I was discussing the problems resulting from mixing certain household products. I'm familiar that Chlorine bleach is dangerous when used with other cleaning agents, but someone said that Drano also causes problems when mixed with some detergents. Does anyone have the correct and complete information on how to clean a bathroom without killing myself?

Had some bad smell in my Bathroom in the Barrack. I had just moved in to this room and could not take it. Took forever to get the Gas from the mix of those two out of that room.
They did not at that time have the warning on the label about mixing them but if you check now its there and in big bold letters.
quote:
Bleach is made of the chemical compound sodium hypochlorite. The most commonly used chemical compound in toilet cleaners is hydrochloric acid. When these chemicals are mixed, a reaction creates toxic chloramine gases. Bleach and toilet cleaner may unintentionally be mixed by using the same cleaning cloth for multiple products, cleaning surfaces with multiple products or pouring bleach water down a drain after toilet cleaner was used.
Time Frame
Chloramine gas is created almost instantly when bleach and toilet cleaner are mixed. Negative health effects can begin in minutes after the gas is dispersed in the air; the length of time before these negative effects occur depends on ventilation, concentration of bleach and toilet cleaner and the amount of water diluting the mixture.
deadly to septic systems. In town, flush whatever.
Bleach and toilet bowl cleaner..[xx(]
Then why in the hell is the store shelves loaded with toilet bowl cleaner that contains bleach or Clorox??
I was gonna say chocolate and peanut butter causes weight gain, but you guys have gone way past that already.

Those are of difference formulas. The statement "do not toilet bowl cleaner and bleach" is a generic statement. Many are safe, most are not, some have bleach in it. Many have hydrochloric acid in it.
Never mix bleach with acid, sulfuric or muratic (hydrochloric).
brake fluid and pool tablets (chlorine)
That one is pretty neat but
aluminum foil and sulfuric acid in a sealed container......
BOOM!

Trust me on this if you mix the wrong ones get out of the room quick you do not have long to live.

..True, but put a big balloon over the container and you have a nice
floating balloon of hydrogen. Tie it, let it go up and try to hit it
after your tracer lights. (about 25-40 yds. for a .22)
..Of course I can't confirm this harmless fun..[;)]

Tequila and ugly women. Trust me on this one.

I was just picking on ya Grumpy..[:o)]
Two things I have leaned over the years.
1. You do not mix A-Jax and Clorox.
2. You do not want to clean your Reynolds Wrap with Drano after a cook out.
Toilet bowl cleaner and aluminum foil. One of my school kids a few years ago got busted for making an incendiary device in an empty plastic bottle.
I'm told you can make a bomb strong enough to flip a car over with Drano, aluminum, and a 1 liter pop bottle..........[:(]
Alcohol and chainsaws
..I just tell everyone that the scar is from a shark bite..[:I]
DRINKING AND DRIVING,,,potasium perclorate and aluminun powder mix very well with each but can be very deadly [:D][:D][:D]
..I'd add 5% sulfur to that. Potassium perchlorate is much safer
than potassium chlorate. The chlorate mix is more sensitive to
friction, impact and static electricity.....(tap the ex-pyro)
