DAWN AND BLEACH DON’T MIX
SO MANY WASHERS ARE STILL DOING THIS TO SAVE A BUCK. Don’t mix bleach with Dawn dish soap (or any dish soap) because it can create dangerous gases and reduce cleaning effectiveness. If the label warns against mixing, follow it. Why it’s risky Chlorine gas or other toxic gases: Some dish soaps contain ammonia or surfactants that, when combined with bleach, can release hazardous gases like chloramines or chlorine gas, which irritate eyes, lungs, and can be life-threatening in poorly ventilated spaces. Unpredictable reactions: Bleach + certain cleaners can react unpredictably, producing heat, fumes, or residues that aren’t safe for skin or inhalation. DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE THAT DOES THIS?
