Proper Use of Sodium Hypochlorite at Home
There is no house in general that doesn’t use bleach in one way or other. Bleach produced commercially for house hold use is formulated with very small amounts of sodium hypochlorite – typically anywhere from 3-8 percent. This does not mean, it is very safe to use. It will create serious damage to the user when it accidental spill on the skin, splashing in the eyes, or ingestion.
When using bleach for laundry, it is important to follow the dilution instructions on the label as bleach can burn the fabric material when used without any water dilution. This is the same when using bleach in the home for disinfecting purposes. It is recommended that there are four parts water to every one part of bleach. The dilution of bleach should always with water. Please do not mix below said material with bleach:
Acidic toilet bowl cleaners – This can result in release of deadly, toxic gas known as Chlorine. It can also happen with vinegar or any kind of acidic water.
Ammonia – Mixing of bleach with ammonia will result in generation of Chloramines vapors, which is a highly toxic and potentially deadly gas. Check the ingredients on other cleaners you may use to ensure none have ammonia in them and get mixed while use.
