2:40 You _would think_ that it's a very well known fact that you shouldn't mix these two, but my grandmother (70yo) wasn't aware. And when this COVID crap started, she got super obsessed with cleaning everything and making sure everything was sanitized. She was putting bleach on everything and mixing it with everything. I had to call her and tell her not to mix it with ammonia, because its dangerous. She was going to mix it with some glass cleaner, but when I told her to make sure she knows whats in it, she saw on the bottle that it was ammonia based cleaner - Whew!
I should probably read on the long lasting effects. I worked with cleaning this summer. No one of my coworkers or I had any idea. Had never heard of it before. Just remember thinking it was a stupid idea mixing cleaning products, which it was. We were instructed to in any case
@@banjillaphranks Jesus, that's scary. They should put some obvious warnings on the bottles. Then again, maybe the Tide pod eating generation would treat the warnings like instructions.... lol.
I am going to do this tomorrow, I have a very expensive gas mask, not sure if this enters the lungs through the skin so I will wear a full suit just in case. This is the final solution to those bed bugs in my camper, I am going to gas those dirty bastards!!!! "Evil Laughs!"
It is very informative to know the difference in this chemicals and most house cleaners should know about. Other wise you may get harmful effects. thanks for sharing.
6 years ago I worked at an assisted living facility, a co-worker of mine accidentally mixed these two attempting to clean the floors, I was finishing washing dishes at the time. It burned the eyes and throat so bad that my coworker couldn’t dispose of it, I put my shirt over my mouth and nose and held my breath while I dumped gallons of it down the drain. Thinking back on it, probably should have evacuated the building.
*grins* and it doesn't take much a good whiff and you will start cough and chocking uncontrollable as it burns inside of your lungs. Be careful with house hold chemicals
I was working in a kitchen and my assistant mixed two cleaning products into a mop bucket. The fumes it created hit you like a brick wall. We had to empty the kitchen and fumigate the place.
Coworker filled a bucket of this stuff by mistake to clean the floor and walls of a Butcher. Needless to say seeing the sizzling vapour cloud approach us was enough of a warning
HELP!!!! I was cleaning when I mixed ammonia and a bleach based toilet cleaner, I saw a cloud of fumes come out of the toilet and now I'm scared!!! how long will it take for the chloramine gasses to neutralize??? What should I do please help!!!
Open the window, and close the bathroom door. I recommend flushing it with the toilet lid closed, so the fumes don’t get into the air. Wait like 30 mins. Go outside and get fresh air to make sure you clear your lungs. That’s what I recommend. Make sure to not do that again!
This video is a bit vague. Besides a brief mention of chloramine, no other information. All the video clips showed just water. If anything this video just make me more curious.
Science ABC: "If you mix ammonia and bleach accidentally, run away from the site to avoid toxic fumes". *Shows image of happy little boy running outside*
An aunt of mine once had an even better idea to thoroughly cleaning the toilet, by not only mixing ammonia and bleach together, but adding hydrochloric acid as well. 👍 After regaining consciousness after an unknown amount of time, the toilet indeed had become pretty clean. 😉
My mom decided to pee in bucket during a meth bender then decided to clean it out with bleach. She ended up in hospital with shortness of breath and remains there now. While cleaning her completely filthy house i found said bucket and it stung me in the eyes, i ran out of the room. I wonder if it got mom too, or maybe it was just the meth. It may remain one of life’s mysteries.
WADR pickles, I think that elusive and mysterious "meth pee and bleach in a bucket" conundrum was quickly deciphered by us after you started with "My mom" and alluded that the house was filthy...I've met a cpl of tweakers throughout the years and the one constant I've noticed w them is they like to keep things tidy!
Many years ago, I used bleach to clean a litter box. I learned not to do that again. Good thing it was in the tub. The fumes were nasty. I just left it till it was done.
I have a question. Does bleach react with generic bar soaps that are used for bathing, because most of the time when I clean the bathroom there's soap residue and I'm just wondering if bathing soap and bleach react to produce something toxic
Accidentally mixed them when I was mopping my garage floor, as the ammonia cleaner wasn't completely dry before einbekached the floor and it created mustard gas. we had to evacuate the house and I breathed in enough to give me asthmatic symptoms ever since. I could. Barely breathe for weeks after that.
I mix these all the time spray one on the trash bags when I'm outside, and then spray the other on the trash bags... Keeps stray dogs and cats, raccoons, and crows from tearing open my bags of trash every week. They get one whiff of the chemicals once they get near the bags, and then they go away. 🙄
A guy came today to wash my mattress and he mixed bleach with another detergent. I don't know if it contained ammonia. I left the house for 3 hours and when I came back I could still smell bleach. Should I be worried?😟
Using only bleach to clean mattresses and carpets does have its downsides, as it may leave white stains. People often dilute bleach by adding water before using it on mattresses or carpet. Since you did not see the products mixing bleach and ammonia, then it's really difficult to say anything about its chemical composition. We'd suggest you keep your room well ventilated for a while and the smell should go away. We hope you're not experiencing any irritation in nose, eyes or mouth, but if you are, then you should seek medical help. Remember that it's always a good idea to ask the guy what cleaning products they're mixing together and if you should take any precautions about it.
@@Paonporteur Cleaning a refrigerator out in a enclosed place. Poured pure bleach and pure ammonia in a bucket with water. Thought my allergies was just bothering me, then I started seeing stars, vision started getting blurry and my lungs started to get inflammed to the point I had to take full deep breaths just to get O2 in my system. While I was driving myself to the ER my legs, arms and my head was becoming numb because of lack of oxygen to the brain. When I got there I was put on oxygen until my lung swelling came down. Dont ever ever ever mix bleach with ammonia!
Your reaction mechanism is wrong. NaOCl will never decompose to HCl in an alkaline solution. And HCl doesn't form chloroamines when reacting with ammonia. It's a direct reaction between the ammonia and sodium hypochlorite that forms chloroamines.
Good question! Ammonia is an important source of nitrogen for plants. Nitrogen promotes plant growth and improves fruit and seed production, resulting in a greater yield. That's why it is used as a fertilizer.
@@Scienceabc idk i heard that vinegar and chlorine make chlorine gas, and ammonia and bleach make chloramine, so it would make some sort of even deadlier gas
Lets say i want to do this safely so i can see for myself what happens when I mix these two chemicals together. Perhaps I want to make Hydrazine so I can use it as a rocket fuel for my homemade rockets.
