The everyday details · Melt Laundry
The most important storage rule for Melt is simple: keep the strips dry until you use them. Close the box and choose a shelf where steam, splashes and leaks are unlikely to reach it.
Choose a dry place, not just a spare place
The shelf immediately above a sink or beside a steamy shower may be convenient but damp. Check the cupboard before putting the box away. Keep the pack away from wet laundry and any plumbing that has a history of dripping.
Keep the instructions with the product
Store the strips in their labelled pack, including any dry pieces left after tearing a dose. If you need an extra protective container for travel, keep the product information with it. Do not use a food container that could cause confusion.
Keep children and pets away
A lightweight sheet is still detergent. Store it out of reach and follow all safety instructions on the pack. Do not leave strips on a counter, in a laundry basket or mixed with clothing where someone could mistake them for something else.
If a pack gets wet
Do not assume its condition is unchanged. Check the label and contact us with a photo and order details if the strips are clumping or handling differently. We can help assess the problem rather than advise you to use an uncertain dose.
Can I store torn pieces for later?
Keep unused dry pieces with the labelled pack, close the box and follow its storage instructions.
