The shelf life of a product is defined as the “length of time that a commodity may be stored without becoming unfit for use, consumption, or sale.” (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shelf_life). Manufacturers determine the shelf life of a product based upon expectations of normal use and storage. Failure to follow recommended guidelines can limit the expected shelf life of any product.
Environmental factors can also affect shelf life. It’s always a good idea to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for use, storage and handling to get the most out of your cleaner:
- Store at recommended temperatures
- Properly close containers between use – do not leave bottles uncapped
- Do not mix with other chemicals
- Use clean tools to avoid introducing contaminants
- Follow manufacturer’s instructions for use
