Think about how you are going to dispose of any materials you have left over. Don’t be tempted to buy a gallon if you only need a cup. PLAN AHEAD: Buy only what you need to avoid or minimize waste. Never mix anything with products containing chlorine or ammonia. Store unsafe products away from small children and pets.ĭON’T MIX: Some household products, when mixed, can form dangerous fumes or may become explosive. STORE PROPERLY: Always store products in their original containers with labels. Avoid products containing chlorinated compounds, petroleum distillates, phenols and formaldehyde. Choose water-based products over solvent-based ones.
Danger, Caution, Warning, Harmful, Poison, Toxic, Corrosive, Volatile, Flammable, Inflammable, Combustible or Explosive-these words should alert you to the hazardous nature of the product. NON-TOXIC ALTERNATIVES: Purchase the least toxic product available. For example, with pesticide use, twice as much is not twice as effective and may be twice as toxic! THINK SMALL: Use the correct amount of product recommended. READ LABELS: Read and follow directions carefully!
