Cleaning While Pregnant?

Question

Is it safe to continue using everyday cleaning products while pregnant? Or will this harm the baby? Do you wear gloves, or a mask? And how often is it "safe" to clean? I have diagnosed OCD and cleaning is something I do daily.

Answer

I’m using Dr. Bronner’s and Mrs. Meyers for cleaning. I make my husband use Lysol wipes for the sink, etc.

Answer

If you’re using strong ones, yes wear gloves and a mask, and make sure it’s a well ventilated area (don’t be scrubbing the bathroom with the door closed)

Answer

You can make your own cleaning solution with vinegar or purchase thieves online. Thieves smells amazing and totally chemical free.

Answer

I use organic products

Answer

Mrs. Meyers has some all natural products that might be more safe. Read for no ammonia in products.

Answer

I think with harsher chemicals it’s better to avoid them, maybe opt for something a little more.. natural? Or use gloves and in a well ventilated space. But as for like spray and wipe and stuff like that it’s perfectly fine.

Answer

When cleaning bathrooms, I wear a heavy duty painters mask and gloves. The dusting spray I use for the house isn’t strong so I don’t worry about it for anything else. 36 weeks today with a healthy little boy.

Answer

My SO will not do cleaning so that is out of question. I can't afford to replenish my cleaning supply with all natural cleaners (My SO works, I am a SAHM) this is why I was hoping it was safe as long as I take precautions
