Is It Safe to Mix Vinegar and Hydrogen Peroxide
Is it safe to mix vinegar and hydrogen peroxide?
The world has asked about the mixing of vinegar and hydrogen peroxide, and I should clarify it in detail.
Vinegar is a daily seasoning product with mild properties and mostly acetic acid. And hydrogen peroxide is oxidizing and is often used for disinfection and bleaching.
If the two are mixed, acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide may chemically react. Initially, peracetic acid may be produced. Although peracetic acid is also a disinfectant, its properties are unstable, and it is easy to decompose and explode when heated, shaken or exposed to impurities. And during this reaction, oxygen may escape, causing gas accumulation. If it is in a confined space, it is also dangerous.
And peracetic acid is highly corrosive and irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. If you accidentally touch it, the skin may be burned, the eyes may be damaged, and the volatile gas inhaled will also harm the respiratory tract.
Therefore, if you want to use disinfection and cleaning methods, you should use them separately. Clean with vinegar, which can remove scale and odor; disinfect with hydrogen peroxide, which can sterilize and remove stains. Each according to its own nature, use it safely, and it is a safe way. Do not mix rashly, so as not to endanger personal safety and cause unpredictable disasters.
