Narrative:
The cleaners came on during deplaning and started spraying the toxic cleaner. I was trying to stand and say goodbye to passengers; but the spray was burning my lungs; through my mask. I saw one cleaner wet their rag with multiple sprays as a child walked by right next to it. I was hoping with some fresh air my lungs would feel better; but they don't.this practice of bombarding crew and passengers with this spray during deplaning is hazardous to everyone's health. Toxic cleaning spray being sprayed during deplaning both in first class and the bathroom and galley shrouded my area during deplaning.burned my lungs. Hoping fresh air will help. Giving it 24 hours to feel better. Otherwise will see a doctor. Airline needs to let people off the plane before they start with the spraying of the cleaner. I have (had) great lungs; so if it's affecting me; then anyone with any lung issue is going to be in big trouble.
