Laundry symbols make no sense

I was referring to the statement that the bottles don't contain a warning, not about the chemical reaction that obviously exists.

It probably doesn't specify vinegar, but a general "do not mix with other cleaners". If it only said vinegar, then someone would mix it with ammonia and when they died, they'd claim "it only said vinegar!"

Without going back and straining my eyes, I don't think it even goes that far. Just do not mix with acids, and it specifically called out "urine and feces", from which I guess we're supposed to surmise that it is not a toilet cleaner? It's a difficult problem, yes, because "but it didn't say not to..."

But again, I'm pretty sure the solution does not lie in a wall of 6 pt. text., regardless of what it needs to say.
