HHM Advice

  1. Always follow the product’s use, storage, and disposal label directions.
  2. Never store HHMs in food containers.
  3. Make sure lids are tight and secure on all stored HHMs.
  4. Don’t overbuy. But as much product as you think you will need, not more than you’ll need.
  5. Try to use it all up for its intended purpose.
  6. Always read labels!
