Here are 3 simple steps for parents to keep their kids safe around household products and disinfectants.

1. Store products up and away out of your kids' reach and sight level.

2. Keep cleaning products/disinfectants in their original containers and read labels.

3. Have the poison control center phone number posted visibly or saved in your phone. That number is 1-800-222-1222
