YES!!! I cleaned my bathroom with Lysol, painted the baby's room, cleaned our oven when we moved and it was all good. I would suggest opening a window or having a fan on when doing so though..If you are in the bathroom the ceiling fan works great as for other areas try a stand up fan. My baby was born healthy with nothing wrong..Just don't try to breath all of the fumes in :)

Well with my last two pregnancies I had a weird craving to sniff all lemon scented cleaning products. It got so bad my husband had to lock them away and supervise me in the supermarket. But somehow I always found a way. Luckily my babies came out perfectly healthy with no damaging effects but I will stress this is not a good thing at all and experts do not recommend pregnant women inhaling the chemicals.

Sadly, most generally used cleaning supplies are perfectly safe to use during pregnancy. Just ventilate well, and wear gloves if you use a strong cleaner.

Using cleaning products during pregnancy is not recommended, unless they are made from natural products. Vinegar is great for glass and stainless steel, some people also use lemon juice or orange oil. Otherwise, if you aren't sure, don't use it. And its a great excuse to ask someone else to do the cleaning!

Yes, its safe. Do so in a well ventilated area. And wear rubber gloves. Never mix cleaning supplies it can be harmful for you and your baby.

You should not use anything with toxic chemicals in it. This includes bleach. Most toilet bowl cleaners are not safe. Most cleaning products contain some toxic things in them. So it's better to stay away from them unless they are purely organic in nature. Leave the deep cleaning to someone else.

straight forward eco-friendly is a reliable non-poisonous degreaser for cleansing kitchen surfaces (like the range). purely make sensible you've a fan going because the scent is truly reliable (although supposedly non-poisonous). I also use SoftScrub with bleach for the bathe/bath/sink/lavatory/bathing room floor. There are not any fumes from it although the bleach kills each and every of the germs and the SoftScrub has abrasives in it that get issues truly sparkling. even though it really is perfect to sparkling with GLOVES, so the bleach isn't soaking into your pores and skin. i take advantage of a similar stuff for the kitchen sink and counter tops--SoftScrub with bleach, using gloves. As for the dishes and stuff, i do not truly situation about detergents or something and that i take advantage of gloves even as washing dishes besides.

Use natural products like vinegar and lemon. Also check out the "Method" brand of clean products available at Target.

Not really. If you need to use chemical cleaning supplies, make sure it is in a well-ventilated area and use gloves. I read that those chemicals can be one cause of premature births so be careful.

Yes, just do so in a well ventilated area. Wear gloves and a surgeons mask as well. And if the fumes get to you or you become tired, take a break.
