How can I tell if I have latex or oil-based paint? Latex paint labels will use words such as “latex,” “acrylic latex,” or “cleans up with soap and water.” Read the ingredients list and look for the word “water.” If you have oil-based paint, your label will say “alkyd,” “oil-based,” and “caution: combustible.” The label will mention “mineral spirits,” “soya oil,” “aliphatic hydrocarbons,” or “petroleum distillates.” Sharps: Place sharps in a rigid plastic container with a lid such as a laundry detergent bottle. Make sure the container is labeled “sharps.” Do NOT place sharps in plastic bags or have them loose in a cardboard box. |
