01

Why the pipe objects

Wood stain may contain pigments, oils and solvents that can contaminate wastewater and coat plumbing.

02

Do this instead

Store it in the labeled container and take it to an accepting paint or hazardous-waste program.

03

Already did it?

Do not mix in another product or attempt to neutralize it. Ventilate if the label directs, keep people and pets away, and call your local wastewater or hazardous-waste authority.
