ritu Smom replied. I was not able to get hubby's help for the cleaning. Whenever feasible I used a cleaning service. At other times I used natural and safe alternatives. I had to use them since I have allergies. I don't remember the websites but there are many which suggest alternative natural products. For kitchen counters, plain dishwashing soap works just fine. For the bath tubs and counters I used baking soda. For mirrors I used vinegar in water. These alternatives are really great. The only problem was the shower stall which attracts mildew. That required strong cleaners for which I insisted on hubby doing it. If the cleaning service came home I went out for some hours.

Hope this helps. If you can get hubby to do it, nothing like it :-)

raveena replied. Hi Ritu,

i think u should avoid cleaning as those cleaning products are not safe during pregnancy.they can be harmful to baby.avoid bleach,cleaning products do contain chemical products which is not good for the baby.

i stopped cleaning as soon as i conceived .now my husband is taking care of all cleaning part.i avoid going to bathroom at least for 3 to 4 hrs as odour of bleach or cleaning product still lingers in bathroom.till that time i use other bathroom.just taking precautions.
that s all i know
take care ,
