Years ago, I worked in the food industry, and it was normal practice then to mix a very small amount of bleach with a detergent in hot water as a bactericide. The amount of bleach used was around 1 teaspoon per gallon of water.
Whilst in small amounts (capful) it may prove harmless to mix the two. If you were to mix both in larger quantities or undiluted a chemical reaction takes place giving off a toxic gas which when inhaled burns and irritates.
