Brief Answer:
no. nothing will happen

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
If you haven't swallowed any of it then you have nothing to be afraid of.
And you have taken all other measures rightly to remove any remnants from the mouth too.
As you mentioned, its already past 20hrs now and you do not have any irritation or burning or any other symptoms in your mouth.
So there is nothing to be afraid of or to be worried about. Nothing will happen now.
But please do not take any measures as such in the future. It could get real difficult and is fatal to life.
Do not take any wrong decisions in haste of emotions.
I hope I have answered your query well.
If you have any questions kindly ask me back.
Thank you
