Ghar pe i mostly do the cleaning myself but the bathroom phenyl smell makes me feel dizzy now in my first trimester. Is bending and scrubbing safe at this stage or should i avoid it? anyone else?
Normal cleaning is okay for most, just avoid strong bleach or ammonia fumes and dont strain your back. If you have any complications, check with your gynac about how much physical work is fine.
My MIL didnt let me near the bathroom cleaning, she said the fumes and slippery floor are risky. Honestly I was relieved haha. If you must, ventilate well and wear gloves.
I was told to avoid harsh chemical fumes and bending too much, so I skipped bathroom cleaning mostly. If your pregnancy is high risk please ask your doctor what activity is okay for you, dont take chances with falls.
Light cleaning is fine but two things, dont breathe in strong chemicals and dont slip on wet floor. I wore gloves, kept the window open and got someone else to do the heavy scrubbing. Be careful with the slippery tiles especially.
