Good morning!  So I been cleaning my bathrooms and kitchen with the regular products I use just nothing with bleach.  I get a headache and kind of sick feeling afterwards.  I thought it was because I am doing too much at once and need to slow down but now I am thinking its the products. So this is why I am asking you guys what cleaning products do you guys use???

    If I buy products I buy all natural ones.

    I usually make my own with a combination of the following:

     

    vinegar

    water

    baking soda

    I like Mrs. Meyers or Seventh Generation. I do make my own too.

    I also use natural products/make my own, but want to add:

    they require a little more elbow grease. If you don't clean regularly you might need something a little stronger. Otherwise, they work great (I have a home-keeping book that basically says start with the mildest thing that will work and go from there---it can be easier on surfaces too).

    If you make your own, rather than use whatever vinegar/baking soda is in your kitchen just go buy a really cheap bulk container. (If you decide that works for you, first, of course).

    If we need to use harsh cleaning products around the house, I make my husband do it! I pretty much only use soap and water right now because the smell bothers me/worries me also.

    I use this: 1 cup of blue Dawn

    1 cup of White Vinegar (heated for 2 minutes)

     

    Mix in spray bottle and clean away.  It is the best soap scum remover EVER!!!!  I hate the smell of vinegar but it is better than a chemical smell anyday.

    I use organic cleaners for every surface of my house. They smell better, they often work better, and they won't harm me, my baby, or my furbabies.

    I was the same way.  I'd always get sick after using cleaning products.  Now I try to make my own but also buy Method and Mrs. Meyers. 

    Baking soda and lemon juice works way better than Comet ever did.  A super easy glass cleaner is a cup of water, a cup of rubbing alcohol and a tablespoon of vinegar. 

    Good luck!
