pregnancy and cleaning...
what should you stay away from?
do you clean like you do normally or only use certain products?
Im def going to try to stay away from certain things like bleach, but what else?

Re: pregnancy and cleaning...
I never changed anything. I still used bleach, just made sure I had a lot of windows open.

Re: pregnancy and cleaning...
1st pregnancy, I was more cautious. This one, if I don't clean then it'll never get done, so I've changed nothing.

Re: pregnancy and cleaning...
Just pretty much products with bleach. It's not really good for my asthma anyway when I'm not pregnant let alone for the baby when I am. DH took over the cleaning that used bleach - ie: tub & bathroom cleaning.

Same for me.

Re: pregnancy and cleaning...
I still clean with bleach from time to time, but I make sure the central air and ceiling fans are on. I wouldn't use anything stronger.

thank you all!
I think I will stay away from the bleach as well since even when i wasnt preggo it bothered me (I guess Dh will have to clean the bathroom haha).

Re: pregnancy and cleaning...
you don't have to stay away from bleach, i asked my OB.
just make sure it doesn't touch your hands (it never should whether pregnant or not!) and use gloves. you should always clean in a well ventilated area, so being pregnant is no different.
bending over to clean is another story...i'd never get up!

Re: pregnancy and cleaning...
I haven't changed the cleaning products I use. I clean a lot slower which drives me crazy but what can I do... I clean the tub and tiles with a sponge mop so I don't have to bend and reach as much. I always make sure the windows are open even before I was preggo.

Re: pregnancy and cleaning...
i stayed away from certain things more because the smell got to me... though i did stay away from items with triclosin in it... which is in some antibacterial soaps, even hand soaps... i have doen research when i was back in college and it can cause thyroid issues so i would rather avoid ythat

Re: pregnancy and cleaning...
I clean as I always did, I'm just more aware of making sure there is ventilation (esp. when I use bleach). I also spend it out over days instead of doing it all Saturday/Sunday mornings the way I used to

Re: pregnancy and cleaning...
I cleaned with mostly vinager and water when I was pregnant and still now. Occasionally I used bleach with gloves for things like the toliet bowl. I also used greenworks products for certain things. Vinager and water works like a charm, it is great for windows and mirrors two.
