Here's why:
* Dangerous fumes: Mixing baking soda and ammonia creates a chemical reaction that releases toxic fumes. These fumes can irritate the eyes, nose, throat, and lungs, and can be harmful, especially to people with respiratory conditions.
* Potential for explosion: In certain circumstances, the reaction between baking soda and ammonia can be violent, potentially leading to an explosion.
If you need to clean with ammonia, use it separately from baking soda. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for using ammonia and work in a well-ventilated area.
If you are unsure about a cleaning solution, it's always best to err on the side of caution and consult a professional.
