What the hell just happened?

There was a little of the old bleach, the 7th generation chlorine-free one, in the bleach cup in the washing machine, and i poured some plain-old bleach into the cup on top of it, and it fizzed and bubbled and spluttered and hissed at me. What the hell just happened?

    H2O2 + NaOCl ---> NaCl + H2O + O2

    Chlorine free bleach (hydrogen peroxide) + Bleach (sodium hypochlorite) -> Salt + Water + Oxygen gas.

    Why on earth did you mix them?
