Cleanser with Bleach

In this formula Van Gel B is used to suspend the abrasive and to adjust the viscosity. The sodium carbonate buffer helps maintain a pH of about 11, necessary for the stability of the hypochlorite. This liquid cleanser offers the advantage of mildness in use and greater ease and effectiveness on vertical surfaces as compared to powders. 

Slowly add Van Gel B to the water while agitating at available shear. Continue mixing until smooth. Add remai ingredients in order, mixing well after each addition.

Why Must Ammonia Cleansers Never Be Mixed with Bleach ... 

Cleaning and Preparation. LFCB The LFCB should be allowed to run for at least 30 min before the commencement of aseptic operations. All work-zone accessible surfaces, with the exception of the filter-protective screen, should be cleaned and sanitized by application and recovery of a low-residuing, water-base disinfectant cleanser (household bleach or other hypochlorite solutions should not be used at any time... 

Read the labels before mixing household cleansers. Many toilet-bowl cleaners contain acidic solutions, as do some drain cleaners, rust removers, and, of course, vinegar. Never mix bleach with these products. You could sustain permanent lung damage. 

Liquid household bleach is generally a 5% solution of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl). Ammonia cleansers—including general household cleansers, wax removers, glass and window cleaners, and oven cleaners — are aqueous solutions of 5-10% ammonia, NH3. Mixing bleach with cleansers containing ammonia leads to the formation of a family of potentially toxic compounds known as chloramines. These toxic gases have acrid fumes that can bum mucous membranes. Scented bleaches can mask one s natural ability to detect these harmful fumes. 

Tannins are responsible for the brown stains in coffee mugs or on a coffee drinkers teeth. Because tannins are acidic, they can be readily removed with an alkaline cleanser. Use a little laundry bleach on the mug, and brush your teeth with baking soda. 

Hydrazine is somewhat toxic. Use the half-reactions shown below to explain why household bleach (a highly alkaline solution of sodium hypochlorite) should not be mixed with household ammonia or glass cleansers that contain ammonia. 

Oxidation-reduction reactions can be used for bleaching materials and sanitizing water. Sodium hypochlorite is used in solution as a liquid laundry bleach and as a solid component of dishwasher powders and cleansers. Calcium hypochlorite is often used for swimming pool sanitation. The hypochlorites kill bacteria in water by oxidizing them. Ozoue is a powerful oxidizing agent that can also be used to purify water. The ozone destroys bacteria and organic pollutants. Water that has been sanitized by ozone is free of the unpleasant taste, smell, and byproducts associated with chlorinated water. 

Similar to the technology used to produce cream cleansers, there are also formulas that can produce liquid toilet bowl cleaners with suspended abrasives [376,377]. The main difference between the cream cleansers and this type of product is that the suspending system should be acid stable instead of alkaline and/or bleach stable. Suspended particles are appearing in more and more of the toilet bowl cleaners. This has been commercialized in a gel form, which shows the suspended particles. 

Benzoyl peroxide. Benzoyl peroxide encourages peeling of the ontermost layer of the skin and, as mentioned previously, is a mild bactericidal agent. It kills bacteria by virtue of its oxidizing properties. It is often inclnded in prescription acne medications, and in nonprescription acne prodncts snch as gels, lotions, and cleansers. It may be used alone or with other treatments. At even low concentrations (2.5-10%), benzoyl peroxide diminishes the popnlation of Propionibacterium acnes. The most common adverse effects are dry skin and bleaching of the skin. 

Do you help with the housekeeping at home Do you clean your bathtub Do you use a commercial product intended just for that purpose Or bleach, or powdered cleanser It is important to know that you should never mix bleach and powdered cleanser together—doing so results in a chemical reaction that releases poisonous chlorine gas. The vapor from the reaction could do very serious damage to your lungs.
