Cleaning the bathroom

MB83613 · September 2013

So, today is one of the first days I've actually felt normal (first day if the 2nd trimester, too!), so I decided to clean the bathroom, which has been in need of a good clean for a while now. I started cleaning with my normal products (scrubbing bubbles, glass cleaner) and made sure the room was well-ventilated and I had gloves on. But of course, as I'm cleaning, I started to freak out a little bit about the products and safety (I also got a tiny bit if the scrubbing bubbles on my hand while I was spraying before I put my gloves on to scrub...so I freaked out about that, too).

Have you changed your cleaning routine? What products are you using? I know we can't live in a bubble during these next few months, so I'm curious what other ladies are doing. Thanks!

I think you'll be ok. I usually use diluted bleach to clean my bathroom and I don't change just because I'm pregnant.

I use special cleaning cloths by - Norwex. Look it up! They are the best and uses only water! I haven't bought chemicals in years!

I use vinegar. Sometimes heated and mixed with Dawn. Or I like Method brand which is all natural.

For the tub/shower I use equals parts vinegar and dawn dish soap and it is amazing. Works better than anything else I have found! I use Lysol and windex on other things and just make sure I wear gloves.

I use vinegar or diluted Mrs. Meyers. I use Method toilet bowl cleaner. For soap scum I use a Magic Eraser.

I do use bleach from time to time when it really needs it. Maybe every other month or more during cold/flu season. A tiny bit goes a long way.
