Some common household chemicals should never be mixed. They may react to produce a toxic or deadly compound or they may cause undesirable consequences. Here's what you need to know.

This nasty chemical reaction is most likely to be encountered if you color your hair at home. Chemical hair dye packages warn you not to use the product if you have colored your hair using a henna hair dye. Similarly, henna hair coloring warns you against using a commercial dye. Why the warning? Henna products other than red contain metallic salts, not just ground-up plant matter. The metal reacts with hydrogen peroxide in other hair colors in an exothermic reaction that can cause a skin reaction, burn you, make your hair fall out, and produce a scary unpredictable color in hair that remains.

What It Does: Peroxide removes existing color from your hair, so it's easier to add a new color. When it reacts with metal salts (not ordinarily found in hair), it oxidizes them. This ruins the pigment from the henna dye and does a number on your hair. Best case scenario? Dry, damaged, weird-colored hair. Worst case scenario? Welcome to the wonderful wide world of wigs.

Skincare products that actually work to lessen the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles include alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), glycolic acid, and retinol. Layering these products won't make you wrinkle-free. In fact, the acids reduce the effectiveness of retinol.

What It Does: Skincare products work best at a certain acidity level or pH range. When you mix products, you can change the pH, making your expensive skin care regimen pointless. Best case scenario? The AHA and glycolic acid loosen dead skin, but you get no bang for your buck from the retinol. Worst case scenario? You get added skin irritation and sensitivity, plus you wasted money.

You can use the two sets of products, but you need to allow time for one to be completely absorbed before applying the other. Another option is to alternate which type you use.

Mixing bleach and vinegar is a bad idea. When you mix these two substances, toxic chlorine gas is released, which essentially serves as a way to wage chemical warfare on one's self. Many people mix bleach and vinegar knowing it's dangerous, but either underestimate the risk or else hope for increased cleaning power. Here's what you should know about mixing bleach and vinegar before trying it.

If mixing bleach and vinegar releases toxic chlorine gas, then why do people do it? There are two answers to this question. The first is that vinegar lowers the pH of bleach, making it a better disinfectant. The second is that people don't recognize how dangerous this mixture is or how quickly it reacts. When people hear mixing the chemicals makes them better cleaners and disinfectants, they don't always realize the cleaning boost isn't going to make enough of a difference to justify the considerable health hazard.

Chlorine bleach contains sodium hypochlorite or NaOCl. Because bleach is sodium hypochlorite dissolved in water, the sodium hypochlorite in bleach actually exists as hypochlorous acid:

Hypochlorous acid is a strong oxidizer. This is what makes it so good at bleaching and disinfecting. If you mix bleach with an acid, chlorine gas will be produced. For example, mixing bleach with toilet bowl cleaner, which contains hydrochloric acid, yields chlorine gas:

Although pure chlorine gas is greenish-yellow, gas produced by mixing chemicals is diluted in air. This makes it invisible, so the only way to know it's there is by the smell and negative effects. Chlorine gas attacks mucous membranes in the eyes, throat, and lungs-these attacks can be deadly. Mixing bleach with another acid, such as the acetic acid found in vinegar, yields essentially the same result:

There is an equilibrium between the chlorine species that is influenced by pH. When the pH is lowered, as when adding toilet bowl cleaner or vinegar, the ratio of chlorine gas is increased. When the pH is raised, the ratio of hypochlorite ion is increased. Hypochlorite ion is a less efficient oxidizer than hypochlorous acid, so some people will intentionally lower the pH of bleach to increase the oxidizing power of the chemical even though chlorine gas is produced as a result.

Don't poison yourself! Rather than increasing the activity of bleach by adding vinegar to it, it's safer and more effective to simply purchase fresh bleach. Chlorine bleach has a shelf life, so it loses power over time. This is particularly true if the container of bleach has been stored for several months. It's far safer to use fresh bleach than to risk poisoning by mixing bleach with another chemical. It is fine to use bleach and vinegar separately for cleaning as long as the surface is rinsed between products.

After a Devon pub landlord was airlifted to hospital after mixing household cleaning products, we take a look at which chemical mixtures should be avoided at all costs.

Yesterday DevonLive.com reported how Antonio Rodrigues, owner of the Heavitree Arms in Bideford, suffered injuries while cleaning the pub's toilets .

Emergency services reported how Mr Rodrigues "had been trying to unblock drains but had mixed two chemicals together".

A fire service spokesman said: "The chemicals had reacted to each other and caused the pipes to split and the mixture to cover the gentleman."

As this incident proves, there are some common household chemicals which should never be mixed.

They may react to produce a toxic or deadly compound or they could cause undesirable consequences.

According to science website ThoughtCo.com , the following chemicals should never be mixed together:

1. Bleach and Ammonia = Toxic Chloramine Vapor

Bleach and ammonia are two common household cleaners that should never be mixed. They react together to form toxic chloramine vapors and may lead to the production of poisonous hydrazine.

What It Does: Chloramine burns your eyes and respiratory system and can lead to internal organ damage. If there is enough ammonia in the mixture, hydrazine may be produced.

Hydazine is not only toxic, but also potentially explosive. The best-case scenario is discomfort; the worst-case scenario is death.

2. Bleach and rubbing alcohol = Toxic chloroform

The sodium hypochlorite in household bleach reacts with ethanol or isopropanol in rubbing alcohol to produce chloroform. Other nasty compounds that may be produced include chloroacetone, dichloroacetone, and hydrochloric acid.

What It Does: Breathing enough chloroform will knock you out, which will make you unable to move to fresh air. Breathing too much can kill you.

Hydrochloric acid can give you a chemical burn. The chemicals can cause organ damage and lead to cancer and other diseases later in life.

3. Bleach and vinegar = Toxic Chlorine Gas

Are you noticing a common theme here? Bleach is a highly reactive chemical that should not be mixed with other cleaners. Some people mix bleach and vinegar to increase the cleaning power of the chemicals.

It's not a good idea, because the reaction produces chlorine gas. The reaction isn't limited to vinegar (weak acetic acid). Avoid mixing other household acids with bleach, such as lemon juice or some toilet bowl cleaners.

What It Does: Chlorine gas has been used as a chemical warfare agent, so it's not something you want to be producing and inhaling in your home. Chlorine attacks the skin, mucous membranes, and respiratory system.

At best, it will make you cough and irritate your eyes, nose, and mouth. It can give you a chemical burn and could be deadly if you are exposed to a high concentration or are unable to get to fresh air.

4. Vinegar and Peroxide = Paracetic Acid

You might be tempted to mix chemicals to make a more powerful product, but cleaning products are the worst choice for playing home chemist! Vinegar (weak acetic acid) combines with hydrogen peroxide to produce paracetic acid.

The resulting chemical is a more potent disinfectant, but it's also corrosive, so you turn relatively safe household chemicals into a dangerous one.

What It Does: Paracetic acid can irritate your eyes and nose and may give you a chemical burn.

5. Peroxide and Henna Hair Dye = Hair Nightmare

This nasty chemical reaction is most likely to be encountered if you color your hair at home. Chemical hair dye packages warn you not to use the product if you have colored your hair using a henna hair dye.

Similarly, henna hair coloring warns you against using a commercial dye. Why the warning? Henna products other than red contain metallic salts, not just ground-up plant matter.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
When you're faced with a tough cleaning job, it's easy to get frustrated - and tempting to get creative with how you combat it. But before you reach for every cleaning product under your sink and start playing chemist, take caution. "People often think that if one product works, mixing it with another one will make it even better," says Carolyn Forte, Director of the Good Housekeeping Institute Cleaning Lab.

But here's the scary truth: "Certain products, which are safe when used alone, can sometimes cause unsafe fumes or other chemical reactions when mixed with other products," says Nancy Bock, Senior VP of Education at the American Cleaning Institute. And even if your ad-hoc cleaner combo isn't dangerous or toxic, you can never be sure what effect two products can have on a surface or fabric when combined.

Always read the warning and ingredient labels on cleaning products - and never mix these:

1. Bleach + Vinegar

The combination sounds like it'd be a powerful disinfectant, but the two should never be mixed. "Together, they produce chlorine gas, which even at low levels, can cause coughing, breathing problems, and burning, watery eyes," says Forte.

2. Baking Soda + Vinegar

We're calling you out, Pinterest: Although these pantry staples are handy on their own - both baking soda and vinegar can help clean all over the house - you should skip any DIY cleaner recipe that involves this not-so-dynamic duo.

"Baking soda is basic and vinegar is acidic," says Bock. "When you put them together you get mostly water and sodium acetate. But really, just mostly water." Plus, vinegar causes baking soda to foam up. If stored in a closed container, the mixture can explode.

3. Bleach + Ammonia

Bleach and ammonia produce a toxic gas called chloramine. "It causes the same symptoms as bleach and vinegar - along with shortness of breath and chest pain," says Forte. Many glass and window cleaners contain ammonia, so never mix those with bleach.

4. Drain Cleaner + Drain Cleaner

"I would never recommend mixing two different drain cleaners or even using one right after the other," says Forte. "These are powerful formulas, and could even explode if combined." Use one product according to package directions (typically, only half a bottle is needed per treatment). If it doesn't work, don't try another product. Instead, call a plumber, Forte says.

5. Hydrogen Peroxide + Vinegar

You may have heard that you should spray fruits or countertops with alternating mists of hydrogen peroxide and vinegar, wiping down the surface between sprays. Experts say this method is safe - but don't mix the two products in the same container. Combining them creates peracetic acid, which is potentially toxic and can irritate the skin, eyes, and respiratory system.

6. Bleach + Rubbing Alcohol

Perhaps you've heard of chloroform? You know, the stuff kidnappers in the movies put on rags to knock out their victims? Although it might not actually make you pass out, this combination can be irritating and toxic. Make it a rule to never mix bleach with anything but plain water. "Even other products like window and toilet bowl cleaners can have ingredients, like acids or ammonia, that shouldn't be mixed with bleach," says Forte.

Whether it's a glass cleaner, dishwasher detergent, toilet cleaner, floor cleaner, wood cleaner or more, combining bleach with various other cleaning products can result in the production of chlorine gas, resulting in severe respiratory and ocular problems. If you must use bleach, use it by itself.

Some people recommend using chlorine bleach to remove roof stains. Here's what we recommend along with instructions for the best way to get rid of those ugly stains.

10 Household Cleaning Products You Should Never Mix

If you're looking at a tough cleaning job, it's tempting to think about combining various cleaning products under the assumption that if each works to clean, both together will clean twice as well. Unfortunately that isn't necessarily the case, and mixing certain household cleaning products could result in some unintended - and often hazardous - consequences. Learn the facts and clean with caution!

The chemical reactions involved in mixing bleach and ammonia produce extremely dangerous toxic vapors. Thus, it's important to understand some first aid advice in case you're accidentally exposed to a bleach and ammonia mixture.

The primary toxic chemical formed by this reaction is chloramine vapor, which has the potential to form hydrazine.﻿﻿ Chloramines are a group of related compounds well-known to be respiratory irritants. In addition to respiratory irritation, hydrazine can also cause edema, headache, nausea, and seizures.﻿﻿ Mixing bleach and ammonia also produces chlorine gas, which has been used as a chemical weapon.

Two common ways to accidentally mix these chemicals include:

Mixing cleaning products (generally a bad idea)

Using chlorine bleach to disinfect water that contains organic matter (i.e., pond water)

Note that each of these chemicals but water and salt is toxic:

Bleach decomposes to form hydrochloric acid, which reacts with ammonia to form toxic chloramine fumes.

First, hydrochloric acid forms.

Next, the ammonia and chlorine gas react to form chloramine, which is released as a vapor.

NaOCl + 2HCl → Cl ₂ + NaCl + H ₂ O

If ammonia is present in excess (which it may or may not be, depending on your mixture), toxic and potentially explosive liquid hydrazine may form. While impure hydrazine tends not to explode, it does have the potential to boil and spray hot, chemically toxic liquid.

If you become exposed to fumes from mixing bleach and ammonia, immediately remove yourself from the area to fresh air and seek emergency medical attention. While the vapors may attack your eyes and mucous membranes, the biggest threat derives from inhaling the gases.

1. Get away from the site where the chemicals were mixed. You can't call for help if you are overwhelmed by the fumes.

2. Call 911 for emergency help. If you feel that 911 is unwarranted, call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222 for advice on handling the effects of exposure and chemical cleanup.

3. If you find someone unconscious who you believe is suffering from inhalation of bleach/ammonia compound, try to remove the person to fresh air, preferably outdoors. Call 911 for emergency assistance. Do not hang up until instructed to do so.

4. Seek proper cleanup and disposal instructions from Poison Control. Such a mistake is most likely to be made in a bathroom or kitchen, so thoroughly ventilate the area before returning to dispose of the compound and start cleanup.
