Worried about cleaning product

I noticed mould on the seal around the sink this morning and without thinking just sprayed really strong remover on it and cleaned it up. Now i am really worried that it's dangerous in pregnancy and I have damaged my baby especially as I am in the first trimester ;(

I did wear gloves to wipe it off but didn't when I sprayed. It smelt so strong, I put part of my top over my nose at some points and the whole operation only took a few minutes but I am freaking out.

Any words of wisdom?

You'll be okay

I used cleaning products throughout all my pregnancies. Including mould remover, limescale remover, oven cleaner etc. All mine are perfectly healthy. Didn’t even know not using cleaning products was a thing in pregnancy.

Thank you that's reassuring im so tired of the anxiety! There is so much I can't control that I feel so mad at myself when I get something wrong that I could have controlled...

OP apologies if I’ve got this wrong but you do post about your anxiety quite a lot? About food etc?

You’ll be fine :) the advice I’ve read says most household cleaning products are fine. One that I remember it says to avoid is oven cleaner but don’t remember anything about mould remover! Especially as you only used it for a few mins and had gloves on. Think you’re absolutely fine!

Cilit bang mould remover is mostly bleach which is fine (well you know ventilation and don't drink it)

Thanks all!
@SmidgenofaPigeon no I haven't posted about food before, I saw you asked this to someone who asked about Starbucks too, I think there are just a lot of us with a lot of various anxieties Grin
