I'm in the tired club trying to get the garden in.

Those of you in the 76 club may be trying to remember who those in the 27 club actually were...

Just a thought/warning. I hope it isn't considered too crude.

Do you put bleach in your toilet to clean? If so never use the toilet to urinate without flushing a few times first. Urine has a high level of ammonia. Mix ammonia and chlorine (bleach) and the result is Chlorine gas that can actually be fatal if in a high enough concentration as it affects the function of lungs.

since I have a septic tank I try to avoid using chlorine bleach and if I do use it to clean the toilet, I dump in a hefty amount of a professional chlorine remover before flushing the toilet.

That's why I put a piece of paper on the cistern lid saying "USE ANOTHER TOILET" when I use bleach and never bleach them all at the same time. I always flush twice before removing the sign.

Just another point in favor of going back to outhouses. I'll alert Mrs. Badger.

Most human urine is acidic. Human urine contains mostly ammonium due to the acidic pH. Unlike ammonia, ammonium does not react with bleach. But there are some people on special diets that have alkaline urine containing ammonia. There in lies the danger. So make sure you take the pH of your house guest before they use the toilet

Thanks. I needed another way to make house parties more awkward.

The API pH kit really serves a duel role.
