❗Avoid having mystery bottles under your sink and in your storage! If you find yourself storing leftover liquids in new containers, make sure you properly label them with the product and expiration date to keep your family safe from confusing one product for another.
🚫 Do not put containers with hazardous products in them in the recycling or trash. Check for local events and facilities that collect household hazardous waste.
