Professional Cleaner

Any mom's clean houses for a living? I clean 3 houses a week-about 8 hours a week. I know to listen to my body- but I'm more concerned about cleaning products? I'll definitely ask my doctor at my appt next week but thought I'd check with you ladies. Happy Tuesday!

While I'm not a professional cleaner I would say I spent a good 99% of my last pregnancy cleaning my own house because I loved how cleaning products smelled ( :-?? ) . I did try to switch to seventh generation stuff in the beginning but during the second trimester I went back to using Lysol. Can you maybe get one of those masks to put over your nose/mouth so you don't inhale it?

Not a professional cleaner but I do try to use more "green" products like vinegar, method cleaning supplies, 7th generation. Do you use your clients products or do you bring your own? If you can provide your own I would avoid harsh chemicals (lysol, bleach, etc.) or wear a mask. Make sure your in a well ventilated space and take outdoor breaks as needed.

I use their products. I'd say I mainly use Spic N Span, Windex and Pledge. I could look into other products and bring my own-I was hoping the ones I use would be ok. Maybe I'll do a little research on those 3. I don't use bleach in any of the homes. I thought maybe instead of my face being right there when I spray those things- I spray further away and wait a minute before going in to clean? Thanks for your replies!

I'm in love with The Honest Company products. As far as everything else goes...just be sure to wear gloves (though you probably already do since you do this for a living). If you do look into getting a mask just make sure you research the type. Some types of masks can actually be more harmful with certain airborne particles.
