I know a homemaker who was very diligent about cleaning throughout her life. At retirement age she came down with low red blood cell anemia and kidney problems, and high blood pressure and high blood sugar and agravated arthritis; Do you also have the CNS, personality changes, etc.? That is part of the package of 2-butoxyethanol poisoning. What was her favorite cleaning product? Lysol Tub 'n Tile  etc
"Do not use Lysol.  It is phenol.  Tell moms & babysitters to use hydrogen peroxide around the little ones.  Also you might consider an air purifier with charcoal and HEPA filter for removal of chemicals.  A baby should not have Clorox and ammonia used around her either.. "
