Don’t water a grease fire, don’t try to replace with a garage spring. What are some OTHER potentially life-saving tips?

    Or bleach and ammonia. That makes mustard gas.

    Or bleach and anything. If you’re mixing chemicals to clean you’re doing it wrong.

      Mixing bleach and ammonia creates chloramine which is not mustard gas.

      I will mix vinegar and baking soda to clean the insides of my paper mache mountains (this mixture is a good way to clean a smelly sink drain).

        Baking soda + vinegar = salty water. Salty water doesn’t help the drain. Vinegar or baking soda could, depending on the problem, but it’s best to stick to hot water and mechanical solutions.

          Vinegar and potassium bitartrate is the chemical solution for cleaning.
