  • Store safely. Keep all cleaners, including homemade ones, well labeled. Store them away from kids and pets.
  • When working with chemical cleaners, check warning labels, open windows and doors, and keep kids and pets far away from where you're cleaning.
  • Try a cleaner in a hidden spot before using it on a surface for the first time.
