What cleaning products do people tend to use or are ok with using in their home? I think I'm really quite cautious with household cleaning products. Because I generally have vinegar and soda crystals in the house I'll tend to use those and maybe flash, washing up liquid or DH likes dettol spray and we'll use a spot of bleach on the sink or toilet as needed. DH tends to bleach the floors as I can't stand the smell even dilute over a large area and don't want cleaning products about and in the air when LO is running around.Reason I ask is MIL loves cleaning, it's a big part of her routine tbh so she went over our kitchen and bathroom when she was here. Wanted to put a chemical rinse block in the toilet, which we've always avoided as I know Ella would go straight for that in the past. She had to get some 'proper' cleaners in that smelt really chemically and I was opening windows and closing doors as there was no ventilation and it smelt really strong. I think she associates the chemical smell with cleanliness. As I'm pregnant I'm naturally inclined to avoid strong smells like that and I think she's just not aware of all the chemicals in products and packaging. We keep all cleaning products on a basin on top of our tall fridge well out of reach and MIL left them right by the kitchen sink (she isn't very tall to be fair so that's probably why). Even dettol spray I find pretty strong stuff. I don't understand the chemistry behind how they work, but don't really see how such strong smelling chemical cleaners are necessary. I totally appreciate her help though as we have to clean up before our lease ends. I'll probably chuck out what she's bought as won't want to use it myself near Ella or me. Maybe I'm oversensitive to it because my sense of smell and queasiness is still on overdrive.
I'm just curious, not having a go if you don't use any or don't clean a lot.
You'd be hard pressed to be messier than us at times, so glass houses. MIL sees leftover paint on Ella's table as dirty yuck, whereas I see it is dried paint marks. 
It's just odd that MIL (and other relatives) gets so much satisfaction from cleaning, whereas I see it as a boring necessity / chore so don't get any form of satisfaction from it really, beyond a little relief. And well, if I come across as messy and dirty well I don't really mind, though on a scale of 1 to 10 I'm probably about or above average, not a complete manky so and so. 
If things are too tidy I get uncomfortable tbh, I like a bit of (my) clutter. There's the point as well about desensitisation to germs and bugs too and just generally all the chemicals we absorb as part of everyday life I try to minimise really.
