Do not combine stain removal products, especially ammonia and chlorine  
bleach. Dangerous fumes may result.  
Never wash items which have been previously cleaned in, washed in,  
soaked in or spotted with gasoline, dry cleaning solvents or other flammable  
or explosive substances because they give off vapors that could ignite or  
explode.
