Echo that tried a mask but breathing with it got worse getting a cleaner was the only way but it is never done as you would have done it yourself another loss to grieve for :-(

I cannot do very much housework, and I really must stop telling my husband how to do it!!

I can not stand the chemical cleaners how it burns my throat and catches my breath, leaving me wheezing and coughing,

The best thing for any one with breathing problems, is to buy a steamer,,they clean and sterilise in one go,,

We have just bought the Mop X5. It does all the wooden flooring, plus steam cleans all the bathroom, kitchen, plus oven etc.ect. even carpets killing all the dust mites along the way,

cheap too no bottles of everything smelly. Only using water.

We had a short break away, the landlady had asthma to. She said that all rooms ,en-suites were steamed regularly with no chemicals,

Now I don't need to say "your using the wrong cleaner," anymore, and I can do a little more myself.

I can barely clean now using strong cleaners, the bathroom gets a lick and promise, the promise being that my husband will clean it to within and inch of its life. White vinegar is an excellent cleaner, also with lemon juice and bicarbonate of soda. All things I have used in the past and still now sometimes which don't effect me.

Method is a briilant range of cleaning products and never affects my breathing

time to go green. Lots of more user and environmentally friendly products out there now.
