Standard solution: Safe use of cleaning chemicals
From label to protective equipment — every time
§The basic principle
Chemistry works, but can also damage — skin, airways, surfaces and environment. Therefore you follow the same order every time, so safety does not depend on whether you remember it in a hurry.
§Fixed order.
- 01PLACEHOLDER_79

- 05Never mix different products together
- 06Store products in original packaging and separated according to instructions
| Situation | Do it this way |
|---|---|
| Spillage is wiped up immediately | Follow first aid in the safety data sheet immediately |
| Aerosol/spray pollutes the air | Pour detergent on the cloth instead and ventilate |
| Empty chemical can / hazardous waste | Dispose of according to instructions — not in residual waste |
