How to Store Eco-Friendly Industrial Cleaning Products Safely

Eco-friendly industrial cleaning products may not have some of the same hazards as other cleaning products, but they still need to be stored appropriately. 

Read and follow the instructions on any new green cleaning products you buy. Abiding by the manufacturer’s instructions will improve safety and ensure the products maintain their cleaning power. Let’s review overall storage instructions for green cleaning products:

• Recommended temperature, humidity, and light conditions for storage: Our products should be stored in a cool, well-ventilated area.
• Use original storage containers: All cleaning products should remain in the original containers explicitly designed for them. Containers should be closed.
• Proper labelling and identification of products: Label all containers so every employee can quickly identify the product, which is essential both for handling and keeping the storage area in a safe condition.

How to Handle Eco-Friendly Industrial Cleaning Products Safely

Eco-friendly means the product is better for the environment than traditional products, but these products can still contain compounds that can irritate the eyes and skin. Therefore, proper handling is still essential. Let’s review standard best practices to keep everyone safe:

• Wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): PPE should always be worn when handling cleaning products, typically gloves and a mask. Read the instructions on all cleaning products to determine if other PPE should be worn.
• Avoid contact with skin and eyes: Eco-friendly products can still harm your employee's skin and eyes. Keep these products out of contact with these areas and instruct employees to wash these areas if they come in contact with cleaning products.
• Don’t eat or drink in work areas: Inadvertently consuming cleaning products is harmful, so workers and customers should never be exposed to cleaning chemicals. Plan your cleaning routine to avoid any exposure.
