What Are The Effects Of Inhaling Clorox Toilet Cleaner Fumes?
i recently dropped a clorox toilet bowl cleaner in my tank to sanitize and rid it of hard water stains. it works wonders. however, my bathroom in my bedroom is right across from my bed so when i get up at night to use it and flush i can smell the clorox fumes for a few minutes. sometimes it is kind of strong but not chocking, just a little breathtaking. it never really goes away but is not as strong after a while. what are the effects of inhaling these fumes?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and looking to the history given here I could say that bathroom cleaning agent contains Hydrochloric acid in very mild form after fumigation if the fume being inhaled then this could cause irritation in throat but this comes around soon, no need to worry about this, text time use necessary gear, have a nice day.

I really appreciate your concern and looking to the history given here I could say that this is more common negligence that at the time of cleaning the toilet and bathroom nobody use the proper gears, the main chemical is hydrochloric acid in very mild form and this could cause throat irritation if inhaled and this would come around soon, drink more water and no need to worry about this, take care and have nice day.
