Consumables are sterile medical devices, and storage conditions determine whether they still are when you open them.
What to know
- Cool, dry, out of direct sunlight, and off the floor — a real consideration in UAE summers.
- Keep concentrate and cartridges within the temperature range on the label.
- Store away from cleaning chemicals, and away from bathrooms and kitchens.
- Inspect packaging when unpacking a delivery, not when you are about to start a session.
