4. Do not mix disinfectants with hot water or other products as it can emit fumes that can be irritating to your eyes or lungs.

7. If a spill happens on a metal surface or the surface might come in direct contact with skin or clothing, the surface should be rinsed off with water after using the disinfectant to prevent the effects of bleaching and rusting.
