    Wear gloves to protect your hands and a mask at all times.  This will limit the amount of exposure to the toxins associated with the chemicals in the cleaning supplies.


    You may also want to consider cleaning with only natural or plant based cleaners such as vinegar.


    I cleaned houses and hotel rooms for over 20 years and the chemicals in these cleaners can be very toxic. When I was cleaning hotels in Florida, myself and two other housekeepers were exposed to a chemical that was so dangerous that we were given  heavy black gas mask to wear.
