How do I safely store cleaners, sprays, and lubricants in my home?

Safe storage of cleaners, sprays and lubricants is important for your safety and the longevity of these items. Here are some important guidelines:

• Original packaging: Always keep chemicals in their original packaging. This helps prevent them from reacting with other substances or being accidentally used incorrectly.
• Store in a cool, dry place: Store these products in a cool and dry room. Extreme temperatures and moisture can affect their effectiveness and damage packaging.
• Keep out of reach of children: Place hazardous substances out of the reach of children and pets. A secure high cabinet or a lockable box is ideal.
• Observe flammability: Store highly flammable products, such as many sprays and lubricants, away from heat sources and open flames.
• Prevent leaks: Make sure containers are carefully sealed and place an absorbent mat or tray underneath in case anything leaks.
• Disposal: Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and local regulations for disposing of chemicals.

Always follow the instructions on the product labels for specific storage requirements.
