1. Promptly wipe up spills, leaks, tracked-in water to prevent slips and fall.

3. Replace worn tiles, refasten loose floor moldings and, in case of ripped carpeting, place a temporary patch until it can be repaired.

4. Use care in mixing detergents, germicides and cleaners to avoid splashing in eyes and in skin.

5. Don't just mix products. For example, bleach and ammonia can create dangerous chlorine gas.

General purpose germicidal cleaners should not be used on food containers. Keep insect control sprays away from food and food containers.
