Toxic Fumes

I've always used Clorox bleach spray to clean the kitchen and clean Michael and my bathroom. I didn't use it at first. I used regular bathroom cleaner and this machine that machine bought to get rid of mold. But neither of those worked for the mold in our shower, but the Clorox does, for the most part. So I use it all the time. But I'm always worried about the chemicals being bad for me.

I was cleaning the kitchen and then the bathroom a couple of days ago and afterwards I got really queasy and had a bad headache. I think though that was mostly due to me, not only not cleaning on my usual day but doing it on my fasting day. I hadn't had anything to eat all day at that point. But still, I just would like to find an alternative to using the Clorox. Does anyone have any good cleaning products they use that aren't terribly unhealthy?

Also while I'm soliciting advice, does anyone know where to find a good strapless bra for a D cup? I've tried for years to find on with no success. The last one I bought I thought was going to work out, but it's just as crappy as the rest of them. It slips down whenever I lean over and I'm constantly having to tug it up. I wear a lot of shirts and t-shirts that kind of require strapless, but I've had no luck.

TIA

Chemical pneumonia is a real thing and bleach can lead to this condition - especially bleach mixed with other chemical cleaning solutions. I highly recommend not using bleach. It's destructive. A 1:1 solution of white vinegar and warm water in a spray bottle can clean just about anything in your home! You can add a bit of dish detergent if you like. I do windows, wood, cabinets, my lacquered grand piano, the bathroom....

athleta.com has some great supportive underwires.

Mike also mentioned that he'd heard about how great vinegar works and how it's a great disinfectant and actually gives a deeper clean than bleach, so we're definitely going to try that.

Thanks for the rec.
