The “nesting” phase of pregnancy happens to every mom. That mad rush to get everything cleaned and organized can be taken to a new level by paying special attention to ensuring that during this process neither mom nor baby are affected by fumes, direct toxins, or residue that is created by using common cleaning products. As a green house cleaning service in Wildwood, we come across lots of cleaning jobs, and have to have solutions that work. Here we share 5 common household cleaners to avoid while pregnant (and afterwards to keep away from your new bundle of joy), and the alternative products created by our co-branded retail partner Better Life to solve these toxic problems.
Eco-Friendly Cleaning in Wildwood MO
The suggestions below are a good place to begin your journey to creating a safe “nest” for you and your soon to arrive baby. These are simple, small, and inexpensive changes that have a positive impact on your well being.
- Ammonia based window and surface cleaners. Instead: Try Better Life’s “I Can See Clearly Wow”. It is made from all natural and safe plant based ingredients. It also does an amazing job on cleaning glass surfaces to a streak free finish. As a bonus, because it doesn’t contain solvents, alcohol, ammonia etc… It is safe to use on flat screens and other electronics that can be damaged by traditional glass cleaners.
- Furniture polish. Try Better Life’s “Oak-E-Dokey”. This all natural and safe wood polish helps leave wood looking great and protected.
- Bathroom cleaners for shower stalls, fixtures, etc. Alternative: Try scrubbing these surfaces with Better Life’s “Even The Kitchen Sink”. It is a bleach free scrubbing solution that is powerful, but won’t scratch your expensive fixtures.
- Carpet cleaners and stain removers. Instead try spot treating stains with Better Life’s “Whatever”. Whatever is a powerful multipurpose cleaner, but pulls double duty for spot cleaning carpets and fabrics. You can also use it in carpet cleaning machines by mixing 2 ounces to each gallon of water.
- Oven cleaner. In this case “Whatever” gets the nod again. This time spray down the surfaces in the oven until they are very wet. Use a pumice stone to get off these stubborn stains. Make sure that the surfaces and the pumice stone stay wet to avoid scratching the ovens surface.
