Cleaning drums is a controlled operation. Read this first, then proceed with the steps below. Check the SDS of the last product for PPE, incompatibilities, and disposal guidance.

Segregate residues: never mix acids with bases, oxidizers with organics, or chlorine bleach with ammonia/acidic cleaners. Containment: use drip pans and a sump; keep absorbents on hand. Regulatory note: manage residues/rinse water under local rules (e.g., U.S. RCRA “empty container” and rinsate management). [1–3]
