I experienced an immediate burning sensation in my eyes/nose/throat/lungs and an immediate headache upon entering the aircraft to perform my safety checks. There was a strong residual odor from the cleaning product; which is being overused by both fleet and flight attendants in response to COVID. I experienced these symptoms on my ZZZ1 flight. After flying to/from ZZZ1; I continued to experience the acute burning sensation in my eyes/nose/throat/lungs and headache on my drive home. I found the safety data sheet on this product which states 'May cause irritation or damage to the eyes' and 'May cause chronic nasal passage; throat; or lung irritation if breathed over a prolonged period of time in the form of mist.' It also states on the bottle 'hazardous to humans and domestic animals.' Several flight attendants in ZZZ are getting very sick from this cleaning product which is being left onboard for flight attendant use. This is inappropriate and unacceptable and must be removed from the aircraft immediately. Perhaps the Sani-Com Wipes or similar wipes can be provided for the flight crew.  Please see attached Irregularity Report. Remove X product from the aircraft for flight attendant use and replace with Sani-Com wipes or similar wipes.
