cleaning products

I have a question if everyone could help me out.  I work for a cleaning company and the other person that cleans with me used Drano tonight I was around it for a little over an hour. I am a little nervous I am 20 weeks and am scared it will harm my baby.  I asked her never to use it again while I am at work with her could my baby be in danger or should I be OK?

Same as R4ch4el88, I still use bleach etc at home and just make sure the areas well ventilated and wear gloves or wash my hands thoroughly afterwards. My dr wasn't concerned and said it was mostly some industrial chemicals that are the big risks. Maybe ask your dr for a list or something due to your job?

You are probably fine, especially if you weren't just standing there breathing it in right above the drain the whole time. Were there windows open or fans going? Because that's even better. Also, it doesn't sound like you are around that constantly, so that's good. I asked my doctor about cleaning the bathrooms at home, and she said using natural cleaners is best (like vinegar) but cleaning should be okay as long as there's good air flow and it doesn't take long. But since you do it for work, maybe just ask your doctor for his/her opinion or advice. But for your question here, I'm sure you're okay from tonight.
