Amazing Lysol ® brand 'All Purpose Cleaner'
Comments (2)OH, my!! I have used that Lysol bathroom cleaner several times, but only for spraying in my bathtub and spraying in my toilet and in my sinks for maintenance, thank goodness. I usually use Scrubbing Bubbles for that (Comet for actual real cleaning) but have used the LYsol brand several times. I'm glad you posted this, b/c I had no idea and I'm glad I never used it on the lavoratory or faucets in the bathroom other than directly inside the sinks, which it didn't harm. I won't be purchasing it ever again....See MoreSafety of Charlie's All-Purpose for Asthmatics?
Comments (6)Hubby is asthmatic, though I have never seen him have an attack, after 30+ years of marriage. But he has great difficulty breathing during certain times of the year when some plants are in bloom and has to sit up in bed all night somethimes, just to breathe. The greatest problem for him is house dust (and with that, dust mites of course). When he cleans out the garage and sweeps it, it takes days before he is breathing normally again. And like most guys, he will not go to the doctor nor take meds, other than a couple of OTC things. Anyway, I agree with the others (though everyone's body is different), that it could very well be the dust and dust mite bodies being stirred up from the deep cleaning--and of course, the pet hair. We cannot have cats or dogs (we are both allergic to them and it never ceases to amaze me how many parents of young children w pet allergies will have pets in the house anyway!). There seems to always be a threshold also. A little dust, OK; but once a certain degree of exposure has reached and it triggers a reaction, then it's time for the Benadryl and Primatene mist inhalor. Naturally, we do not have any carpet in the house either, since it is a permanent magnet for dust and dust mites. Once intalled, it cannot ever be made clean again. So, consider wearing a mask, getting rid of any carpet, and check out the cleaners and products made to kill dust mites (I have to use them for all of our bedding - hubby is that allergic to them, but you may not be having that problem, though they will get in the carpet and cloth furniture also.) Gazoontite.com (sp?) is an excellent source for products and tips on this topic. L...See MoreUsing Charlie's All Purpose as laundry detergent?
