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

Scary, very scary. Have you two ever considered hiring cleaning services so that hang out amongst the living longer?

**Broker15015** · 10-04-2007, 01:38 PM

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.
