What should cleaning agents NOT be stored in to prevent poisoning?

Cleaning agents should not be stored in drinking bottles primarily because these containers are often associated with consumable liquids, such as water or beverages. This association can lead to accidental ingestion, particularly if someone misjudges the contents of the bottle, thinking it is safe to drink. Unlike containers designed specifically for chemicals, a drinking bottle does not have clear warnings or the usual labeling that indicates hazardous substances, making it particularly dangerous.

In contrast, containers like sealed jars or child-proof containers are generally safer options for storing cleaning agents due to their design, which may include safety features that prevent access by children and help to clearly denote that the contents are not for consumption. Additionally, confusion between cleaning agents and food containers can be mitigated by not placing cleaning substances in typical food packaging that might look inviting or familiar to individuals, particularly young children.
