When you get your fire extinguishers, I believe they need to be shaken up periodically. I know about 15-20 years ago they were supposed to be shaken up about once a month(?) so they spray when needed. Can't remember the frequency for sure. So leave them out in the open where they are a visual reminder and easy to access to shake up.
