But clearly I won't be leaving Everytime shes here. I will mention the vinegar + water to the hubs but he has this weird mentality that if it's not an actual cleaning product... It's not gOod. Ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-lady-with-baby-in-house#post-174284 Thu, 31 May 2012 09:57:06 +0000 Mrs. Bee 174284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm always home when the cleaning lady comes (she's supposed to come today hooray!). i think you should be ok if you stay away from the area she's actively cleaning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-lady-with-baby-in-house#post-174280 Thu, 31 May 2012 09:51:08 +0000 BananaPancakes 174280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always leave when my cleaning woman comes. I feel like we just get in her way, plus it's hard for us both to nap with her here. I have a key to my SIL's house which is like 1/4 mile from me, so we just go hang out there. </p> <p>And my maid also primarily uses vinegar and water to clean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-lady-with-baby-in-house#post-174274 Thu, 31 May 2012 09:46:14 +0000 heffalump 174274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My cleaning lady is here now too! I don't like to leave because I have lo and the dog so its hard with both of them. She always cleans lo's room first and by the time she's done its nap time and she sleeps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-lady-with-baby-in-house#post-174191 Thu, 31 May 2012 08:11:30 +0000 mamimami 174191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would just open the windows and close off the rooms you're currently occupying and I think it's fine. I don't think it's GOOD for you all to smell the fumes, but I don't think it's a dire situation especially if it's not every single day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-lady-with-baby-in-house#post-174190 Thu, 31 May 2012 08:11:01 +0000 Andrea 174190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would just avoid the areas that she is cleaning. I always migrate around the house. We use mostly natural products, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-lady-with-baby-in-house#post-174175 Thu, 31 May 2012 07:55:56 +0000 chopsuey 174175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I would leave if I were you! I had my cleaning ladies use a steam mop for our floors and gentle products on surfaces. Next time I'm totally gonna have them use water+vinegar and baking soda! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-lady-with-baby-in-house#post-174169 Thu, 31 May 2012 07:39:50 +0000 mrbee 174169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blushink: We have the maids use diluted vinegar for counters and a steam mop for floors. Backing soda for drains works great too!</p> <p><a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2011/11/30/mrs-bees-favorite-cleaning-products/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2011/11/30/mrs-bees-favorite-cleaning-products/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-lady-with-baby-in-house#post-174166 Thu, 31 May 2012 07:32:17 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 174166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cvbee: well she uses all the pretty concentrated / smell products so I assume it's not the best! </p> <p>She does clean upstairs first so I could stay downstairs a little with Sienna and get ready/relax. And when she comes downstairs I could leave and go shopping. </p> <p>She's here for 4 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-lady-with-baby-in-house#post-174161 Thu, 31 May 2012 07:26:23 +0000 cvbee 174161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yay for cleaning lady! jealous!</p> <p>I wouldn't have thought of the fumes thing, but now that you have mentioned it you'll feel guilty if you don't leave. Or could you keep LO in nursery with window open and door shut?</p> <p>enjoy your clean house! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-lady-with-baby-in-house#post-174157 Thu, 31 May 2012 07:22:28 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 174157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So the cleaning lady is coming in about 45 mins and to be honest I'm so exhausted from the 2 nights of cluster feeding I don't feel like doING anything but sleep. </p> <p>I know the fumes of cleaning products aren't the best so I should leave the house. Right?! I'm secretly hoping someone says no. But I doubt that will happen! </p>
