Household Chemical Storage Guide

Key takeaways
  • Keep chemicals stored securely and out of reach of children and pets to prevent accidental exposure.
  • Use original containers with labels intact; never transfer to unlabeled or food containers to avoid mix-ups.
  • Store incompatible products separately (e.g., bleach away from ammonia) to prevent dangerous reactions.
  • Maintain chemical storage in a cool, ventilated area away from heat sources and direct sunlight for stability.
  • Follow disposal instructions and local regulations; consult SOLVCHEM resources for safe handling and storage guidance.
