HEALTH&SAFETY

Bleach:

- Always use bleach in a well ventilated area

- Transfer only a small amount of bleach into a pot to use to minimise fumes

- Do not get bleach on clothing - it will remove colour and can also cause the fabric to 'rot'

- If bleach splashes onto skin or clothing - dilute immediately with cold water

Hot Wax:

- Do not let hot wax drip onto skin - if it does run under cold water for a few minutes. 

- Place wax pot on a stable surface - do not move until completely cold.
