A member asked:
After cleaning with many agents, i immediately had a horrible cough, could this be inhaled poisoning?

Possibly: Cleaning agents can emit noxious fumes to the respiratory tract. Resulting symptoms can include cough and shortness of breath. Be sure to get plenty of fresh air. If the symptoms continue, seek the care of your doctor for an evaluation.

Home chemistry set: Lots of different cleaning agents don't play well together and make really toxic stuff when you mix them. Using "many agents" increases the chance of this. Always, always, always clean in a well-ventilated room. Set up a fan if you need to. You'll breath easier.
