ok I have a 10 gallon aquarium and its in the living room so evey week my paents clean the house with like windex. pledge, mr clean and what not Iam wondering if these cemical can sorta be air born in the air then get into the tank some how??? I dono Iam always freaking out when they clean the hose they think Iam weired or somethig I tell them they dont understand so Iam wanting to know is a fish tank being around these conditions wil like hert the fish or be present in the tank ... like all my tank cleaning stuff is right under then tank Iam so scared to clean the tank not thinking there will be traces of these chemicals... or Iam I paronode...
 
I wouldn't worry about it.

If anything, I'd offer this advice: you may not want to clean the tank itself (and, perhaps more importantly, the top of the tank) with Windex. I Use white vinegar instead.

But other than that, I wouldn't worry. :)
 
thanks you sooo much a brick has been lifted off my chest...
 
If you have a lid on your tank then everything should be fine but if spray particles are going into the tank then their might be a small danger but I doubt it so don't worry too much
 
I would also suggest turning off any airpumps you have running until a few hours after they stop spraying the stuff, and block any holes in the lid with tissue.
