Why is mixing cleaning products dangerous?
Some products release toxic gas when combined. Bleach and ammonia are a well-known example. Never mix products to clean a spill, and leave the area if you smell fumes.
What do cleanup teams use on a chemical spill?
It depends on the substance. Teams choose absorbent materials, tools and cleaning products to match it, and they follow the maker's safety data sheet. Household products are not mixed together. Ask what the team plans to use and why.
Can I clean up a chemical spill myself?
Small spills of familiar household products may be manageable with the label's directions. Unknown, large or hazardous spills are not. Never mix products. If in doubt, leave the area, keep people and pets out and call 911 or Poison Control.
Do biohazard crews clean chemical spills?

What if I found containers I cannot identify?
Do not open, move or smell them. Keep people and pets away and take photos from a safe distance. A cleanup team can identify the contents, sort them by hazard and set up lawful disposal.
