No, bleach and vinegar should never be mixed.

This is one of the cleaning combinations to avoid completely.

Bleach should not be mixed with vinegar, ammonia, toilet cleaner, or random household cleaners.

The fumes can irritate your eyes, throat, and lungs and may be dangerous, especially in a small bathroom or poorly ventilated space.

If you already mixed them, leave the area, get fresh air, and do not lean over the mixture to smell it.

Use bleach and vinegar separately, never together. Cleaning is not worth a chemical fume risk.
