**Stay Safe and Dont Mix These Green Cleaners**
Choosing ecofriendly products for cleaning your home is an excellent decision. Using natural ingredients is not only better for the environment, but its also healthier for your family and gentler on your wallet. However, its important to know that using certain green cleaners in combination can create chemical reactions that result in very dangerous gases. At Mr. Rooter, we provide a variety of professional services for residents of Atlanta, Roswell, Sandy Springs, Stone Mountain and other nearby communities. We take the health and safety of our customers very seriously and want to offer some advice on what can and cannot be combined when cleaning your drains and other areas of your home or business.
**Avoid Mixing These Ingredients**
* Bleach and Vinegar Chlorine gas is created when you combine bleach and vinegar. Chlorine gas can make it difficult to breath and can even result in death.
* Hydrogen Peroxide and Vinegar When combined, these ingredients will create peracetic acid. This chemical creates fumes that can cause lung damage and skin irritation.
* Bleach and Rubbing Alcohol These two chemicals make chloroform, which aside from causing a loss of consciousness can also damage lungs. Prolonged exposure or a high dosage can cause death as well.
* Castile Soap and Vinegar This mixture wont harm you, but it will make both individual ingredients ineffective.
**A Few Effective Alternatives**
Thankfully, there are many ways to combine natural ingredients that are safe and can enhance the cleaning properties of each substance. Here are just a few of the ways you can mix green cleaners and get the results youve been dreaming of.
* Castile Soap and Baking Soda A combination of castile soap and baking soda, when combined with washing soda, sea salt and citric acid, is great for washing laundry.
* Peroxide and Baking Soda Mix hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, lemon juice, water and essential oil. This is a great alternative to bleach that will leave your bathroom and kitchen sparkling clean.
