Keep products out of the reach of children and pets. | |

Store hazardous products away from food items. | |
|
|
Make sure lids are on tight and child-proofed, if possible. | |
|
|
Store corrosive, flammable, and poisonous products on separate shelves. |

|
Do not store products where they might freeze and possibly cause rupturing of the container. | |
|

Keep products in a dry area to prevent rust and possible leaking of the contents. | |
|
|
If label is falling off, tape it back on. | |
|
|
If label is missing, re-label container. | |

Keep products away from heat, sparks, flames, or sources of ignition such as hot water heaters and car engines. | |
