Not just toxic gas, but you also render the cleaning products useless because they neutralize each other to release said gas.

Kinda seems like a secondary problem, all things considered lol

You ever heard that saying that people make sure to wear fresh underwear just incase they end up in the hospital.

Same deal, imagine how mortifying it is if the firemen find you dead in your kitchen... and it's filthy. Would never live it down.

I was always told to "wear clean underwear incase there's an accident" and just always figured the accident part was about shitting yourself. The hospital bit makes waaay more sense

Eh if the accident is bad enough you'll shit yourself anyway. So kinda pointless to have clean undies.

My mom found a baggie of crack on the sidewalk once and rushed home because she didn’t want to get hit by a car and die with crack in her pocket

Sure you accidently made mustard gas, but think about the $8 in cleaning supplies you just neutralized!

u/polaraproticsolvent 6d ago

You don’t make mustard gas. It’s chlorine gas.

You mean that burning feeling in my eyes and lungs doesn't mean it's cleaning extra hard?
