Diaqueen shelf life

Hey guys,

Interesting question...

So, like most people who have changed their own, I bought a thing of Diaqueen (almost a year back now), and I am wondering...

I store it in my garage (where temperatures vary year round), how long is it "good" for?

Believe it or not... there is no expiration date on this thing...

It'll be fine. A jug last me about a year too. I store it in my closet now but used to store in dads garage.

No worries

Well, I don't really mean to state the obvious, but, how long does it last in your car?

Keep it in a place where the temperature doesn't reach extremes and it should last you quite a while. I wouldn't really use anything that is older than a few years though. If it is unopened you're golden, but open containers may have issues with moisture. I'd just check it every so often.

So if you opened it and the cap was put back on it doesnt have that long of a shelf life? I agree on the moisture looks like i'll have to keep and eye on mine.
