What Happens If A Toilet Cleaner Is Mixed With Shampoo?

[kaththisuresh]

What happens if Harpic blue is mixed with shampoo?

[bednobs]

why dont you try it?

[JimF]

It depends if it's regular shampoo or anti-dandruff.

Obviously!

[bednobs]

i would guess it either makes your toilet bubbly or your hair an interesting shade

[sherrardk]

Are you going to use it on a toilet or on your head?

[Buenchico]

Shampoo is little more than industrial detergent with the addition of a thickener (often common salt), colouring agents and perfume. While mixing anything with bleach is generally a 'no-no', adding detergent to it won't do anything harmful (such as producing noxious gases); it's not uncommon for people to mix washing detergent (which is basically the same stuff as shampoo) and bleach together anyway.

Why anyone should actually choose to mix Harpic and shampoo together is a mystery to me though!

^^^Harpic Blue doesn't appear to be "bleach"...in fact, Harpic Blue appears to be rim-blocks.

You can wave good bye to the toilet brush

Is this another of your brothers college projects?

Look at the poster's question from last Wednesday about mixing stuff.

[Buenchico]

>>> Harpic Blue doesn't appear to be "bleach"

Aha! Good point then. (I just saw 'Harpic' and thought that the 'blue' bit referred to, say, some type of perfume - or the lack of it - that was added to regular Harpic bleach).

Apart possibly from ending up with a gooey mess, I can't think of anything much that would happen if you added shampoo to toilet blocks.

POMPOUS HAIR BLEACH?

You might get a solution that would kill all known perms

[Spicerack]

It may seem like a good prank now but it will end in tears. Don't do it.

BA for Prudie!

We're sure harpic isn't the result of a dodgy keyboard not reproducing hairpiece aren't we?

[alavahalf]

Douglas don't mention dodgy keyboards .. I had an answer recently removed, for questioning the consistent misspelling of a two letter word !

I heard you get hydrogen sulfide if you mixed hcl(harpic) with a sulfur based compund(shampoo)

[fiction-factory]

harpic is only 10% HCl. why not try it?

[fiction-factory]

you would smell the hydrogen sulfide.

[gingejbee]

Shampoos aren't "sulfur based compounds"....unless you are referring to specialist anti-dandruff shampoos containing selenium sulphide.
