I keep reading online of people worried they are not doing enough cleaning. Sometimes there are pictures of what they call they're lovely haul from a shop of disenfectants, bleaches etc!! What's going on? I worry about these households where all these chemicals are being used daily. There is no need for such a large amount of products in a house that's for hospital. I blame this Mrs hinch, advertising these things. You see in shops Mrs hinch approved. Some women are saying almost giving birth and can't stop cleaning, I try to answer them. But someone needs to tell them how harmful it is, amazing we all survived without this before.

I'm a lazy mare so I dont do any more cleaning than I have to. I keep dishes and washing up to date but the rest isn't my priority

I keep seeing the videos people post online of them pouring several different bottles of bleach and various chemicals into their sinks and toilets at the same time, almost on a daily basis & I'm always wondering how they're still conscious from breathing those fumes in! I use supermarket value bleach on my toilet alone and just the smell of that makes me dizzy and nauseous.

I'm not pouring £20 worth of cleaning products literally down the drain at once, it's ridiculous, unnecessary and dangerous.

Yanbu. People add zoflora to their sink then boiling water to then create a steam. They're breathing it in, I just can't get my head around it. Such a waste of plastic too, having all that crap.

And all those sprays. Enough to make one choke.
I use bleach occasionally, but a damp cloth or washing-up liquid in hot water gets most things clean.
