Housecleaning Health
This is to prevent accidents and harmful chemical reactions. Mixing two different kinds of cleaner could result in a mixture that is unable to clean, or could cause something dangerous to happen. For example, mixing bleach and ammonia together causes very poison fumes to fill the air. Spot remover, drain cleaner, floor wax, grease remover and paint thinner are examples of volatile cleaners. Fans are turned on and windows are kept open while using cleaners with fumes. People never wear contact lenses or eat or drink or smoke while using dangerous cleaners. When using limestone remover, toilet-bowl cleaner or oven cleaner people work slowly enough to be careful and not get any acid on themselves. They keep the bottle of cleaner closed as much as possible. They are watchful and keep dangerous buckets, spray cans, boxes of floor soap and so forth away from young children and pets. In fact, people read the label before deciding to buy a cleaner. Bredenberg, Jeff, pp.
