01

Why the pipe objects

Concentrated ammonia can release irritating fumes and must never be mixed with bleach or other cleaners.

02

Do this instead

Use only as labeled and take unwanted concentrate to an appropriate local collection program.

03

Already did it?

Never combine cleaning products. If a large amount was poured out, ventilate the area, follow the product label and contact Poison Control or your wastewater authority for guidance.
