Getting Rid of Bleach Smell

RE: Getting Rid of Bleach Smell Post By Mildew hunter (Guest Post) (02/29/2008) I've just used Mr. Muscle glass cleaner which contains vinegar to mask a chlorine smell. The vinegar on its own can be as bad a smell as the bleach.

Here, I neutralize the bleach odor with white vinegar. Since the Editor noted toxic gas resulting from mixing bleach and vinegar, i'd recommend opening all the windows and doors. Place a fan, facing outward, at a window to draw out the fumes. You might also try spraying the area w/Febreze. I got the kind made for taking strong odors out of laundry. You can dilute it for other applications. Diluted laundry Febreze in a spray bottle works on all kinds of odors and was first used while house-training a puppy w/a short memory.

Sincerely, Karen in IN Editor's Note: Although vinegar is good for getting rid of smells, it makes a toxic gas when mixed with bleach.

Chlorine is very strong and if it is making you sick, make sure you do the best you can to air out the basement and the house. If there are windows down there, leave them open for a few days. If it is too bad, you may have to go somewhere else for a day or two.
