UGH -- the smell of cleaning products when I just wake up
 
Hi,
I just woke up -- too early because I have a dentist appointment.

Hubby did a little cleaning in the bathroom while I was sleeping but the cleaning products he used are irritating and making me cough.

I buy organic because they are less noixous then the regular kind. But what ever he used is bad enough.

I think perhaps he uses too much (more is better!).

I can't really tell him he cleaned wrong because that would not be nice and I want to encourage him to clean next time too. Maybe I can mention it again later and try to appeal to his need to save money -- a little goes a long way with this stuff.

I did open a window and tell him to use a little less next time.

He told me that he drove to the store this morning to buy products. He bought THREE different kinds :eek: and then used them with a heavy hand.

(Everything is still messy -- but I would not tell him that. I told him he did a great job -- but to try to save money and use a little bit of the products next time. He said ok.)

Now I have to go to a new dentist and I'm feeling sleepy and nauseated.

Sorry to whine and vent. It helps.

Hi Mari
 
You probably know this. Make sure bleach is not mixed with ammonia. The combination can form a toxic gas. I accidentally did this a long time ago.

Lysol concentrate can cause nose bleeds,so that stuff needs to be diluted.

I worked in a supermarket,so I'm familiar with cleaning procedures. Bleach needs to be heavily diluted.

I'm just trying to help. You probably know all of these things. BF:hug::hug:

These are all old news... but baking soda makes a great cleaner with hot water. Vinegar can substitute where you would use ammonia... Newspaper works great for cleaning glass and chrome...
