Last night/early morning in a cleaning frenzy I decided to really clean the shower so I sprayed Scrubbing Bubbles on the tiles, then a cleaner w/ ammonia, then chlorine bleach, then Comet cleanser. As I was scrubbing away, [ maybe 5 minutes], I smelled something burning. I looked around the house and realized what I had done. It was my nose! I opened some windows and the door to let the chlorine gas and chloramides out and after 1/2 hour when I didn't smell it anymore closed up. However, this morning I still smell the chlorine. Have I severely damaged my mucous membranes or just my brain?!?

I'm hoping none of the plants show symptoms; I think only the Maxilaria tenuifolia was in the path of gas exposure but we'll see.

If you can smell the odors today your nose probably still works.

**topbonusescod** · 09-04-2007, 05:30 PM

Yeah but I'm not home anymore I'm in the office and I still smell it!

**Clolmemaexata** · 09-04-2007, 05:45 PM

Mutation!

Sorry I could not resist.

**topbonusescod** · 09-04-2007, 05:46 PM

I can feel my nose shrinking!

**Clolmemaexata** · 09-04-2007, 05:50 PM

Yes, as the nose shrinks smaller the smells get bigger in comparison.
That is why you can still smell the odor at the office.

If you are still alive, count yourself lucky. Many people have died by mixing acid cleaners with ones containing chlorine.

No, just bleachy!?!

**Clolmemaexata** · 09-04-2007, 07:55 PM

The smell is probably residual on your hands and body and not embedded in your nose. Ask a co worker if the can smell bleach on you.

I can only imagine what the shower must have looked like to get you to drop a bomb like that on it

How is your nose today? I hope your sense of smell won't be permanently damaged, but if you injured the olefacory nerves, it may be a while before they get back to normal.

That is some serious cleaning. You sound a bit like me when i get on a cleaning kick.

A year ago, when i still had a fair number of plants inside and was using a MH lamp, I decided, the ceiling needed to be swept and vacuumed. So i started moving things around and forgot the MH was up there and banged something against it and the thing came tumbling down, missing my head by about 2 inches. This was one of those MH lamps with the ballast built in so it weighed over 50 or so lbs (maybe more) and was metal with some very sharp edges! I'm glad it didn't land on my head.
