What happens if you mix disinfectant and toilet cleaner?

When disinfectant and toilet cleaner are mixed, a chemical reaction will occur to produce ammonia, which will have a significant impact on the disinfection effect of the disinfectant. If the human body is frequently exposed to ammonia, it may affect human health.

When using disinfectant and toilet cleaner, never mix them together. Otherwise, the disinfection effect of the disinfectant will not be achieved, and it will also have a certain impact on the cleaning of the toilet cleaner. The mixture of these two ingredients produces ammonia, which has a particularly abnormal and irritating smell. Ammonia is very harmful to the human body. Inhaling a large amount of ammonia into the body, it enters the blood and combines with hemoglobin, which will destroy the blood's oxygen transport function. Inhaling a large amount of ammonia in a short period of time may cause tearing, coughing, nausea, vomiting, sore throat, chest tightness, dizziness, fatigue and difficulty breathing and other adverse symptoms. If too much ammonia is inhaled, it will cause the ammonia concentration in the blood to be too high, which may cause cardiac arrest and respiratory arrest through the reflex action of the trigeminal nerve endings, endangering life.

When you need to use disinfectant and toilet cleaner in daily life, it is best to use them separately. It is best to wear silicone gloves when using them to prevent direct contact with the skin of the hands, causing skin allergies or peeling. In life, it is best to open windows frequently for ventilation, keep the indoor air circulating, and maintain personal hygiene.
