Did You Know These Things Expire?

Bread, yogurt, milk…These are all things that we are well-aware can expire and become potentially harmful to us and our families. Did you know, however, that there are many items such as safety equipment that also expire after a certain time period? Not only that, but disinfectants such as bleach can lose their antibacterial properties after a certain amount of time, making them quite ineffective when it comes to properly cleaning anything they come into contact with.
