Cleaning the bathroom, never make this mistake: you can say goodbye to your lungs

### 🧼 **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.

### 🌿 **Want a Safer Cleaning Alternative?**

Try this simple natural scrub for tubs and tiles:

* ½ cup baking soda
* 1 tablespoon dish soap
* A few drops of tea tree or eucalyptus essential oil (for mold-fighting and scent)
* Just enough water to form a paste

Apply, let sit for 10–15 minutes, scrub with a brush, and rinse. It’s effective — and safe for your lungs.

### ✅ **Final Thought: Clean Smart, Not Just Strong**

Your bathroom doesn’t need a chemical warfare approach to get clean. In fact, **overdoing it can harm your health far more than a dirty shower ever could.**

So the next time you gear up to tackle the bathroom, remember: **never mix cleaners** — especially bleach — and always clean in a well-ventilated space.

Your lungs will thank you.
