How to Store Cleaning Chemicals Safely
Five litres of anything deserves a proper home. The rules that matter:
- Original containers only — the label is your safety data.
- Cool, dry, out of sunlight — UV and heat degrade actives (and bottles).
- Off the floor, below shoulder height — heavy jugs above your head are an accident waiting.
- Separation — keep bleach-based and acid-based products on different shelves.
- Locked or high if kids or pets are about.
- Bunded storage (a spill tray) for professional quantities.
Decanting for daily use? Use proper trigger bottles and label them straight away.
Safety first: always read the label before use, wear gloves and eye protection with cleaning chemicals, and never mix chemicals together — Mix & Match means your basket, never your bucket.
