Any chemistry experts out there?

As a previous posting noted, mixing chemicals can be extremely dangerous. They were concerned about mixing chemicals with shampoo, and rightly so.

We also need to understand whether the bleach and the hydrogen peroxide will react with each other, and how so.

Searching the internet, you can find all sorts of seeming contradictions on this issue. Some folks say that bleach and hydrogen peroxide will neutralize each other, forming common table salt, water, and oxygen. If true, would that make the solution worthless for our purposes? Worse yet other folks warn of creating hydrochloric acid, poisonous chlorine gas, other dangerous gases, and/or extreme heat, from this reaction.

Chemistry class was too many years ago for me! Can someone help us to understand the chemical equation and its implications? Thank-you.
