Bleach smell still in room? Safe?
Earlier today I used bleach to clean a white skirt (had to be hand washed and had a big black spot of grease on it. used maybe a fourth of a cup maybe a bit more.) in my bathroom. I had the door open, window open, and over head ventilator thing on along with the fan on in my room and the door open from my room leading to the rest of the house. This was about 7 hours ago and the bleach smell is still there (not overly strong just that you can tell someone has been using bleach). Is it safe for me to sleep in my room? I still have my door open to the rest of the house and my ceiling fan on.
Also, the bleach I used was diluted in about 3 cups of water.
It's safe.
The chlorine smell can linger for quite some time, but in itself is not harmful. Just be sure not to use ammonia anywhere near the bathroom until the bleach smell is completely gone ... bleach + ammonia = toxic gas.
