Client Question: Storing Hazardous Household Chemicals

My girls have recently started crawling.. and that has lead me to think about all the other clients that I work with that have toddlers in the house. A question that comes up time over time is: What is the safest way to store hazardous household chemicals when you have a toddler running around?

A: I always advice clients that if there are any products in your household that can be a danger to any member in your family or a pet, keep them in a securely locked cabinet, high out of reach and away from all food. Always leave the products in their original containers with their lids tightly sealed. In addition, read the labels on these products as some must be away from heat sources. Never attemp to transfer the hazardous products to other containers. Always organize all products together.
