How do I handle cleaning fumes?
Iv'e tried different home remedies to clean with , but sometimes they just don't get the job done. I have to use the harder cleaners which give me a headache after a bit. I've also tried a mask to no avail.

Hi Carmen,
What are you trying to clean?
Use essential oils to clean with. Only great smelling orange or violet will you be smelling. You can find all kinds of recipes in Pinterest or a blog. Mom4real. I started thru the recipes she shared. Stove,counters, dusting, bathroom cleaners. It is fun mixing up the recipes.
You can order a chemical respirator online for not too much money. A mask won't do much for chemicals - they are for large particles. If you get the kind with cartridges, you don't have to buy a new mask when the chemicals start to bother you again - just replace the cartridges.
