I removed everything off of 3 shelves inside kitchen cabinet and sprayed good. It is 3 hours since I sprayed. Do I need to wash the shelves before placing items back inside it?

I would recommend washing only where your dishes will come into direct contact with the treated surface. You may also want to consider using some shelf liner for your dishes to sit on and leave all of the areas treated as the residual effects will take care of the pests in the future. Also, I'm pretty sure Bengal's website will have information for you as well.

Yes, before placing anything back into the cabinets, please wipe of the spray. This product work's better in crevices and behind appliances.

Dear Erma,I sprayed the inside of my kitchen cabinets as well, but I did not wash the shelves before placing items back inside, and there was no problem and nothing else crawling around inside of them either. You don't have to spray much when you spray - this stuff really works!

You are supposed to spray corners of kitchen cabinet under sink, around the baseboard and perhaps a bit on top. A little spray of this can goes long ways unlike other brands. You should not have to wipe anything unless if you sprayed where you store dishes, glasses, etc.. I would wipre those. Please dont spray anything that kids or pets can eat off of.

I wouldn't wash them because you will remove the product in doing so! Just make sure you wash everything pryer to use! This product really works!!!!

No you don't have to it is a dry spray. Wait about an hour and then you're fine

I've used Bengal products for over 20 years and haven't washed any shelves except when I find dead roaches. Best insecticide products from Bengal!!!

Honey B. I take the solids out after about 15 episodes, the liquid is dissolved in the wonderful crystals. With my BabyDoll, the entire collection unit is changed about every 30-40 days. No smell! No mess! Less touch. Hope that this helps. GJG

It should be safe after it's dried. The caution section on the container says, "Harmful if inhaled. Avoid breathing vapor or spray mist. Remove contaminated clothing. . . Avoid contamination of feed and foodstuffs. Remove pets . . . Vacate room after treatment and ventilate before reoccupying. Do not allow children or pets to contact treated areas until surfaces are dry." It doesn't take too long to dry, but I recommend vacating the area for about a half hour after spraying, because of the vapors. They don't smell bad, but they linger for a little while. The spray also leaves a white powdery substance where it was sprayed, which may soak into the ground if sprayed outside, I'm not sure. I've only sprayed it inside and it was easy to wipe up.

Longer than you think. Take your time don't panic. Tape & cover everything it's a messy process. If you're very exacting & are doing a counter with a sink consider pulling the sink out. If that's too much for you tape well & be careful when you remove the tape.

I usually dry it off at the bottle dryer rack. If you just leave it as is on the counter, will probably take about 30-35 minutes.

Let it soak in window cleaning mixture about 5.min (household spray bottles are fine) and then use plastic scrapers (plastic razor blades) to remove it

I have my shelf in a space just a bit wider than the shelf itself, between my stacked washer/dryer and my pantry shelves, which are the white rubbery covered metal ones. In the several months I've had it there, I haven't had any problems. As to the detergent, it might depend on the shape of the container. I keep containers of things like Woolite and Fabric Softener that are 50oz and they just fit.

I also don't spray counters and tables. Just furniture, flooring and curtains. My personal dogs as well as endless foster puppies and kittens have walked on the carpet after the spray is dry and have had no ill effect. I keep them off the area for a couple hours after spraying. Since cats/kittens are notorious for being sensitive to products, I don't spray the house unless I remove cats/kittens first OR they stay in one room of the house while I spray, I don't spray that room while they are in there and I let the rest of the house dry and air back out before letting them out of that room.

Like any polish it will wash off after a while. I have laminate counter tops and it works great but does need to be re-applied after a few counter top washings.

I opened cupboards, draws etc. and also disconnected gas stove (if you have one). I put a bomb in each room through out our duplex. We vacated for I believe 4-6 hours (that's including any pets you may have). Afterwards open all windows to air out all the fumes. Hope this was helpful, and good luck!

its recommended to take out all bottles in one time & refrigerate the ones u r not using.. though my sister keeps it back in the sterilizer on the 24 hr mode always on.

Did notice smell-thought it was the finish-like new paint has an odor for awhile. Didn't put anything in it that might absorb the smell. The smell went away after a few months. I love this pantry-it has great storage and I've had many positive comments about how pretty it is.

I would strip your cabinets first. If they are already painted they probably have at least 3 coats already. Using this product will add another 4 coats at least

My container says keep in cool dry place. So mine stays in the cabinet. If it was in the fridge it would probably harden and then be hard to get out of the tub. :) hope this helps :)

Turn inside out. Spray with Tylex mold remover. Let sit 5-10 minutes. Rinse off (use the hose) and let dry thoroughly. Should be good as new. (I've even used Clorox bleach and it also works, but the Tylex works faster.)

The same way you clean the wet container. Just let this one dry out when you are finished and before re-using.
