If you notice that a bottle of cleaning fluid is leaking, the appropriate steps to take are as follows:

  1. Contain the Leak: Immediately place the leaking bottle in an empty bucket or another suitable container to prevent the fluid from spreading and causing damage or a safety hazard.

  2. Transfer the Fluid: If possible, carefully pour the remaining fluid into another appropriate, clean, and empty container. Ensure that this container is suitable for storing the type of cleaning fluid you are dealing with.

  3. Seal and Label: Once the fluid is transferred, tightly seal the new container to prevent any further leaks. Clearly label the container with the contents and any relevant safety information, such as hazard warnings or instructions for use.

  4. Dispose of the Leaking Bottle: Properly dispose of the original leaking bottle according to local regulations for hazardous waste or recycling, if applicable.

  5. Clean Up: Clean any spilled fluid according to the safety instructions provided by the manufacturer, using appropriate protective equipment if necessary.

By following these steps, you ensure that the cleaning fluid is safely contained and stored, minimizing any potential hazards associated with the leak.
