Home safety tips from Solane

MANILA, Philippines - Keeping the house a safe and happy place to be for the entire family is every homemaker’s dream.

We want to be able to walk around in it with much ease and comfort. We want the young ones to have fun running to and fro, without fear of them getting hurt somewhere. Finally, we want to be able to sleep soundly, assured that nothing will go wrong at night or when we are away.

Here are some of the best home safety tips from Solane, a leading cooking gas brand that boasts  its solid commitment to high quality and safety standards.

• Keep things clean all the time. When items around the house are kept spotlessly clean, it is easier to avoid and spot hazards. This should be a concern for each family member, and it pays to start ’em young. For example, the children should be taught that they should always put back their toys in the boxes they came from, lest they or someone else trips on these. Those who cook in the kitchen should clean the area afterwards immediately, checking for spills that can result in mildewed nooks and crannies that are a breeding ground for disease.

• Promote orderliness. Create or buy good storage spaces where items not being used can be placed. This includes containers, closets, and organizers for many objects that tend to get lost all the time, such as chargers, scissors, tapes, and clips. Those made of metal, or are sharp, should be kept out of reach of children, as they might play with these and injure themselves, or use them to stick into sockets.

• Designate safety point-persons. When leaving the house or before going to bed at night, at least two people should check for such hazards as plugged electrical appliances, open doors and windows, leaking faucets, or furniture or heavy items that may tip over. All adults at home should be made to play this role from time to time, with the kids closely observing, too.

• Buy high-quality items. Always invest in high-quality items such as appliances, furniture, and devices, instead of buying knockoffs or cheap versions. In the long run, the good — but admittedly more expensive products — can actually mean huge savings for your family. This is especially true for items like flat iron, microwave oven, refrigerator, or cellphone chargers. When you go for poorly-built ones, you may find yourself buying a new one in just a few months.

• Choose a safe source of fuel. Fire destroys lives and property, and they often start in the kitchen, especially as a result of cooking mishaps. It is then important to invest in topnotch cooking equipment and fuel. In the case of LPG, for instance, a tank with leaks because of poor quality may end up causing fire.
