cleaning during 2ww?

What are your thoughts on using cleaning products after ET and before beta #1? My place is a total mess! I'd love to funnel some of my nervous energy toward cleaning this weekend, but I don't want to do anything to jeopardize my little embryos after going through all of this.

    I do clean during the 2ww... just wear rubber gloves... make sure you leave some windows open and dont use bleach.

    I think you will be fine as long as you don't lock yourself in the bathroom with Clorox. I would avoid the bleach all together.

    Or, maybe treat yourself to a cleaning service?

    Buy some EO or Mrs Meyers, both more natural and with gloves, completely safe.

    Multiple ectopics, 2 failed IVF's
    IVF #1: Did not get to ET, embies all failed PGD (major chromosomal defects)
    IVF #2: We have 2 chromosomally perfect embies as a result of PGD (Boy/Girl) 1 failed the thaw (Girl) Transferred 1, yet ended as a c/p
    Thought it was the end of our TTC Journey 6/20/2012
    SHOCK BFP 9/28/2012: IT'S A BOY! and everything is normal !!!!!!

    Thank you for the suggestions! I will probably end up cleaning (with gloves and no bleach) for the sake of my sanity :-).

    This!  Yes  I'm also a huge fan of white vinegar and baking soda -- I use those two products for almost all of my cleaning and never worry about safety concerns.

    I'd agree with above posters and for your sanity a) clean but b) use natural products and gloves. :)
