Safety Tips for Using Cleaners and Disinfectants

September 4, 2017

As you begin to recover from flood damage, cleaning supplies will be very important.  Many cleaners and disinfectants contain harsh chemicals.

  • Read the label for specific directions before you use the chemicals
  • Always protect your skin and eyes by wearing protective gear such as googles and gloves
  • Be aware that some chemicals and disinfectants may require more protective gear than others
  • Always keep disinfectants and chemicals away from children
  • If your disinfectant requires diluting always add disinfectant to water, not water to disinfectant

Choose the right cleaner for the job!  Check out The Disaster Handbook at http://disaster.ifas.ufl.edu/ for a list of cleaner and disinfectant types and uses.
