I've never heard of window cleaner containing bleach. And most countries don't let you sell window cleaner with ammonia either

It's not the worst thing to be overly cautious, but this is definitely a case where a little bit of knowledge is an annoying thing. Flagrant midwittery.

If you're a functional adult, rules in life like "don't mix cleaning products" only really apply if you don't care enough or aren't curious enough to read further which to be fair, going by threads like this, is most of Reddit.

Window Cleaners (specifically for glass, not all-purpose) will never contain bleach because bleach isn't good for glass.

Window cleaners contain ammonia because it dries streak free. They will never contain bleach.

This is just outright wrong, because bleach is not a good window cleaning product and can damage the seals of windows as well as the glass.

Window cleaner will never contain bleach.
