So i was cleaning my house using Soft Scrub lemon scent, and now i am worried i may have harmed the baby. I was using gloves , but i could smell the cleaner. Do you think it could have harmed the baby??? I am 28 weeks....
thanks

You are probably perfectly safe, I sure wouldn't worry. But, in the future for peace of mind, just as effective, much cheaper, and completely safe, use vinegar and baking soda! Vinegar is a natural disinfectant, and your house will sparkle. For lots of cleaning recipes go to www.about.com and search for vinegar and then for baking soda. Another excellent book is the Queen of Clean. They are about the only things I use anymore. Have fun!

The most important thing is that you were wearing gloves... any chemicals that are not good to use are usually absorbed by the skin and into your system that way. Soft scrub isn't incredibly abrasive and I am sure you will be fine. If you want, switch to a brand that uses natural ingredients... you can find them at Target.

No. You're fine. You can use pretty much any cleanser you normally use, just make sure that the room is well ventilated...ie. don't close the bathroom door when you're cleaning.
If only it were a problem...if only it were...
