cleaner is an irritant. DO
NOT take internally. Prolonged skin
contact may cause irritation and
dryness. Direct eye contact may cause
irritation, redness and temporary blurred
vision. Ingestion may cause nausea,
diarrhea, mucosal and gastric irritation.
See first aid instructions on container.
When cleaning with water,
use Broaster
