Concentrated laundry packets must stay in their labeled original container, securely out of children's sight and reach. Never puncture them or handle with wet hands.

Laundry pods contain concentrated detergent wrapped in a water-soluble film. The American Cleaning Institute recommends keeping packets in their original labeled, closed package and away from children rather than displaying them in decorative jars. Read both the product label and washing-machine instructions.

0 / 6 done

Keep the packets in their original child-resistant, clearly labeled package, never in food jars or snack containers.
Store the sealed package high up in a locked cupboard out of children's reach and sight. Reclose it immediately after use.
Check the correct dose and placement. Many packets go directly into the empty drum before clothes, but the product label controls.
Handle only with completely dry hands. Never cut or puncture packets, use them for hand washing or rub them directly onto stains.
Do not use leaking or stuck-together packets; dispose of them as instructed on the label. Never mix the detergent with other chemicals.
If a child may have swallowed a packet or had eye exposure, contact local emergency services or poison advice immediately and keep the packaging for responders.
