Household chemicals can be hazardous if not stored or used properly. Take a few minutes this weekend to do a safety check:
- • Proper storage: Keep cleaners, pesticides, and other chemicals in their original containers with labels intact.
- • Out of reach: Store all chemicals away from children and pets—high cabinets or locked closets work best.
- • Separate incompatible items: Never store bleach next to ammonia or other cleaners that could react dangerously.
- • Check expiration dates: Old or degraded chemicals can be more reactive or ineffective.
- • Use safely: Always follow instructions, wear gloves if needed, and ventilate the area when using chemicals.
- • Dispose properly: Never pour chemicals down the drain—check local disposal guidelines for hazardous materials.
A quick chemical safety check can prevent poisonings, burns, and home emergencies. Safety starts with awareness!
