Carus offering car wash tokens and cleanup advice after fire

Carus LLC is offering car wash tokens to people whose vehicles were covered by fallout from the fire in LaSalle Wednesday. There may have been soot, but potassium permanganate is the substance most people are concerned about. The water purifying oxidizer is potentially harmful if swallowed, but it can be easily washed away with water. The Carus hotline number is one way to find out how to clean up and where to get the car wash tokens. That number is 815-224-6662.
