I had a co-worker who decided to clean his bathroom and decided using a mix of chemicals would be better than just using one! Makes sense right?

He figured putting bleach and vinegar together was a smart move because it meant more cleaning all at once.

Don't worry, he's fine. He had a sore throat for a few weeks and the fumes singed the hairs off his hands when he was mixing it.
