Ok. So it's
Tackle It Tuesday and I decide since I haven't tackled anything I feel worthy of posting I would tackle my bathroom this morning. I have recently switched to cleaning with vinegar as a step to have a healthier home and to support my son who has allergies/asthma. However, today, I thought I would mop the bathroom one last time with bleach. Every thing was going ok, until I bent over the bucket to wring out the mop and inhaled a fume that made me choke and felt like it burned my airway. What could it be? Did I use too much bleach? NO...I forgot I had been mopping with vinegar and had not thoroughly rinsed out the mop before sticking it in the bleach. So, my first thought was of the kids in the house. I covered my face and ran the bucket outside to be disposed of later, then ran back in the house and kicked on the attic fan. I think all the fumes are gone, but my nose smells like bleach. So, I guess what I tackled this Tuesday was staying alive! I will however post my before and after bathroom pics, even though at this point I'm thinking I should have just left it alone. See cleaning is just not healthy! Ha Ha! Vegging out on the couch is much safer!

Oh I feel your pain. I loathe bleach. I gag at the smell of it. When I was pregnant I had to have other people clean our bathroom. I trid the "green" products but I have yet to find one that truly cleans like others that have bleach. I've never tried vinegar so I'll have to look into that one. I agree vegging on the couch is more safe than cleaning. ;)
Oh my - I'm glad you're alive :)
Glad you are okay! I love cleaning with vinegar and baking soda. They clean so well! Great tackle.
That must have been scary. The bathroom looks great, though!
Whew - that makes me tired just looking at all your hard work! Great job!
glad to see i'm not the only one with a crazy bathroom!!! lol
