Yes, I did take Chemistry . . . a long time ago.

They say you ought not share things about yourself online that you wouldn't want other people to know.
So I won't.

They also say that blogs and online material in general should be somehow helpful to the general public, or at least to those in your niche.
My niche is "oxygen to carbon dioxide converters", so this will be helpful.

Feel free to take notes.

So what ha' happen was. . .
I was cleaning our bathtub, and last time I had cleaned it, I had run out of Scrubbing Bubbles or whatever it was we had and since I had forgotten to get more (more specifically to ask my mom to get more) and I had decided to use the Works instead. (That's a toilet bowl cleaner, just FYI.)
The result was surprisingly fantastic.

Well, that day I had ran out of the Works too and got the brilliant idea to add some bleach.
#sarcasm
Ha.
Again I say ha.

It started . . . reacting, I mean, I could see and hear the reaction.
I knew then that this idea had been a horrible mistake.

I started rinsing out the tub with cold water to wash it down, but my nostrils just started burning.
I had to keep running down the hall to get air and then running back to the bathroom and putting my hand over my nose and my nouth.
And opening just about every window in the house.
And turning on all the fans.

Long story short, I ended up washing most of it down the drain, but the stench . . . Holy Lord. . .

(I was later informed that I had inadvertently made freaking mustard gas but, you know, what happens happens.)

I later remembered something and pulled the Works bottle out of the trash and sure enough: "Do not mix with bleach or other household cleaning substances".
In big, bold letters.
. . . Oh. Oops.

So, just as a warning to the rest of you who may want to start the spring cleaning kick with a spotless, deep-cleaned place. . . Don't mix bleach with toilet cleaner.
Unless you want to recreate a WWI battlefield, that is.
