Yes, pools use chlorine, but they don’t mix it with acid (vinegar) intentionally. Pool chemicals are carefully balanced to avoid gas formation.
Mixing bleach with vinegar is like inviting a tiger to a tea party—it’s exciting for a second, then you regret it. Seriously, don’t do it.
What About Other “Hacks”?
You might have heard of mixing bleach with ammonia (like in some glass cleaners). That creates chloramine gas, which is equally nasty. Stick to one cleaner at a time.
My rule? Never mix any cleaning products unless the label says it’s safe. Your lungs are not lab equipment.
