How do I store my products?

How do I dispose of my products?
Never dump household hazardous waste down storm drains, sinks, or on the ground. Take them to a recycling location. Contact your local community or county for household hazardous waste collection options.
What alternatives can I use?
Try using baking soda, white vinegar, and essential oils when cleaning your house. For example, sprinkle baking soda and vacuum to clean carpets. Spraying vinegar water is an easy way to clean windows.
