### 🧼 **Common Cleaning Combos to Avoid**
**NEVER mix:**
* **Bleach + Ammonia** → Chloramine gas
* **Bleach + Vinegar** → Chlorine gas
* **Bleach + Rubbing alcohol** → Chloroform (yes, the stuff used to knock people out in movies)
* **Different store-bought cleaners** (especially if labels say “Do not mix”)
Many household cleaners contain hidden ammonia or acids, so if you’re using **multiple products at once**, you could unknowingly create a dangerous mix.

### 🛁 **How to Clean Safely Instead**
* ✅ **Stick to one product at a time.** Always read the label and follow the instructions.
* ✅ **Ventilate the bathroom well.** Open windows, run the exhaust fan, and keep the door open if possible.
* ✅ **Use gloves and wear a mask** if using strong products.
* ✅ **Opt for natural cleaners** like baking soda, vinegar (used alone!), or castile soap for gentler cleaning.
* ✅ **Rinse thoroughly** between using different products. Never apply one cleaner on top of another without washing the first off completely.
