The laundry room is often overlooked when it comes to home safety. Adopting safer habits can prevent accidents and keep your household running smoothly. Here are some key tips to keep in mind for Poison Prevention Week: 

• Store Detergents Securely: Keep all cleaning agents out of reach of children and pets. Use childproof locks if necessary. For a helpful reminder, reach out to get a free Packets Up! cling for your washing machine. 

• Keep Labels Handy: Always store cleaning products in their original containers. In addition to maintaining the child-deterrent packaging features, it will ensure you always have access to important safety information and instructions on the labels. Read and follow the label instructions. 

• Use Machines Responsibly: Regularly inspect hoses and lint traps to prevent leaks and fire hazards. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using the washers and dryers. Don’t overload your washer or dryer, as this can cause machine malfunctions. 

By making these simple changes, you’ll create a safer laundry environment for you and your family. Learn more at PacketsUp.com.
