15 Water Conservation Tips
October 11, 2012
Tips for use at home or at the office
1. There are a number of ways to save water, and they all start with you.
2. Some refrigerators, air conditioners and ice makers are cooled with wasted flows of water. Consider upgrading with air cooled appliances for significant water savings.
3. Adjust sprinklers so only your lawn is watered and not the house, sidewalk, or street.
4. Choose shrubs and groundcovers instead of turf for hard-to-water areas such as steep slopes and isolated strips.
5. Monitor your water bill for unusually high use. Your bill and water meter are tools that can help you discover leaks.

How to Read a Product Label
Reading the product label should be the first step in the cleaning process, not only to make sure the directions are understood, but most importantly for safety. It’s best to also have the material safety data sheets (MSDS) on hand to read at the same time so that all safety and protective information is clearly understood prior to chemical usage. The product labels and MSDS will list any precautions or protective gear the user will need, and whether or not any other cleaning chemicals will be dangerous to use at the same time (like using a bleach product and an ammonia product in quick succession).
All chemical manufacturers should provide a MSDS upon request. WAXIE even makes chemical MSDS available for download online at anytime day or night on our website:
