Mixing different types of household products together is dangerous as you may not know the outcome of the experiment you’re conducting. It is important to read the manufacturer’s instructions before mixing any cleaning products. Eliminate the health and safety risks by utilizing cleaning products per the instructions.
Here are some natural cleaners you should never mix:
- Baking Soda & Vinegar
Baking Soda and Vinegar are very different chemical compounds. Vinegar is highly acidic, while baking soda contains a weak base. When you combine the two, you neutralize the effect. This produces a weak water-like solution which might seem harmless but can cause a dangerous reaction if combined in a closed container.
- Different Drain Cleaners
When you notice a drain clog, you may be tempted to pour every kind of chemical to eliminate the clog. Do not do this! Mixing different drain cleaners can result in a discharge of chlorine gas which can be harmful to you and your family.
Instead, eliminate drain clogs naturally with LiquidRhyno Build-Up Remover. This powerful formula eats away hair, grease, paper, organic matter, food, and soap scum with specially formulated dual-action biologicals and enzymes. Build-Up Remover formula dissolves years of build-up inside pipes while breaking through common buildup that causes slow-running drains and slow-draining toilets. It’s safe for all pipes with 100% natural non-pathogenic bacteria and a safer alternative to harsh chemicals to sustain a healthy plumbing system. Use regularly for monthly maintenance to prevent slow drains and buildup on drain pipe walls to decrease the frequency of slow-flowing drain problems! Use in sinks, tubs, showers, and toilets.
- Rubbing Alcohol and Bleach
Mixing rubbing alcohol and bleach creates hydrochloric acid and chloroform which is highly toxic and can cause irritation.
- Castile Soap and Vinegar
Castile soap and vinegar are considered natural ingredients and are highly effective when used separately. Vinegar is an acidic compound, while castile soap is basic. Therefore, mixing the two causes a reaction that can be harmful.
Avoid mixing cleaning products in order to be “eco-friendly”, as it can lead to detrimental health issues such as coughing, wheezing, skin irritation, nausea, and much more. We highly urge you to practice safety standards by following instructions on cleaning products as listed while being mindful of the environment by eliminating the use of harmful chemicals.
You can never be sure how the chemicals will reach if you mix them together. Also, the effect these mixtures will have on the surface or the fabrics you are cleaning is also unknown. Make sure you read the precautions and ingredients that are labeled on the cleaning products. Even if you are mixing natural compounds, such as salt or vinegar, ask an expert for harmful reactions.
At LiquidRhyno, we utilize natural biological enzymes in the LiquidRhyno Build-Up Remover to eliminate build-up that is a safer alternative to harsh chemicals. This powerful cleaner is engineered for monthly use to clear, clean, and restore your drains.
