Never mix any detergents, especially bleach and acidic cleaners, which will release deadly chlorine gas. Daily cleaning should use neutral detergents and be performed one at a time, strictly following the 'from top to bottom, from inside to outside' procedure. Deep, aged grease and stubborn black mold should be handled by a professional team to prevent corrosion and damage.
Deadly dangers of mixing chemicals
Bleach mixed with acidic toilet water will release high concentrations of chlorine gas; mild exposure leads to irritation and coughing, severe exposure endangers the respiratory tract. Furthermore, mixing bleach with disinfecting alcohol will also produce chloroform. The splashing and heat generated by these chemical reactions can directly corrode the plating layer of sanitary ware, damaging the protective surface and making it harder to clean in the future.
Before using bleach, please first understand Method for using bleach from the Centre for Health Protection(opens in a new window), and operate according to the product label.
Principles of safe daily maintenance
Home maintenance should prioritize safety by strictly enforcing the following principles.
- Never mix two or more cleaning agents.
- Prefer neutral, mild cleaners to treat surface dust and grease.
- When handling limescale, use diluted citric acid water separately, and rinse thoroughly with plenty of clean water before switching chemicals.
- Perform immediate cleanup to prevent oil stains and limescale from hardening and depositing.
Necessity of professional deep cleaning
For hardened grease inside range hood impellers, deep mold roots in tile seams, and stone deposits in pipes, mild household chemicals are often ineffective. Increasing the chemical concentration yourself will not only damage renovations and hardware but will also cause chemical particles to remain in the indoor space. It is recommended to schedule 壹家壹清潔專家 for deep cleaning every year using physical high-temperature methods to avoid the abuse of chemical agents.
