Cleaning Safety Tips

Never mix chemicals together. Many mixed chemicals can create a toxic aroma.
Put anti-slip strips on the back of your rugs.
Always wear rubber gloves to avoid possible chemical burns.
After you are finished using chemicals, store them somewhere where children and pets cannot get to them.
Always ventilate the room while you are cleaning.
Remove anything on the floors before climbing on ladders to prevent slips or falls.
Check ladders before using them to ensure they are stable.
Check any big or bulky furniture to ensure they wont tip over.
Test all smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors.
Disconnect appliances before cleaning them.
Remove or shorten blind cords so children cannot reach them.
Move furniture away from windows. Kids love to climb on furniture.
Always supervise children when you are using lawnmowers or power tools.

Enjoy your clean home!
