Stay Safe at Home: Using Aerosals Safely
Household aerosol sprays such as air fresheners, deodorants and hair sprays often contain highly flammable gases.
To stay safe:
- Keep aerosols away from candles and open flames
- Do not store or use near heat sources (e.g. heaters, games consoles, radiators)
- Never spray near a naked flame
- Use in well-ventilated areas only
- Avoid storing in hot places (e.g. windowsills, near lights)
Even small cans can cause serious fires and even explosions if misused.
Following these simple steps can prevent serious damage and keep you and your family’s safe at home.
