Steer Clear of Vents
When it comes to chemical storage and exposure, it’s always better to be safe than sorry. This rule is especially pertinent for storing your cleaning products. Don’t place them near any vents, as the gases released by the chemicals can easily travel into the vents and travel through the air of your work environment, creating toxicity.
Don’t Combine Products, Ever
Combining different cleaning products tends to create more harm than good. Never combine cleaning solutions together, regardless of how compatible they may seem. You never know how the chemicals in two different cleaning products may interact when combined.
Document Each and Every Product
It’s always a good idea to take extensive inventory of each of the cleaning products included in your supply. Ideally, you should not only record the name and function of each product, but also the best method of storing each product, what storage and usage methods may present the most danger, the location each product is kept in and the quantity of each product in your possession. This will make it easier to take proper care of each of your cleaning products, as well as stay on top of when it may be time to restock.
