I just cleaned my bathroom with bleach and water spray and then showered after without ventilating too much should I be concerned about this?

The ingredients in Clorox bleach are water, sodium hypochlorite, sodium chloride, sodium carbonate, sodium chlorate, sodium hydroxide and sodium polyacrylate.

Are any of these dangerous?
 
I mean bleach is just toxic in general and should be handled with great care. I wouldn't wanna breathe in the vapors for too long.
 
It's not listed as one.
But bleach is still overall dangerous to one's health. You'll probably be fine but it's worth to practice with care when using bleach.
 
The one rule to always remember about bleach is to never ever never everrrrrrr mix it with any kind of vinegar. It creates chlorine gas and is poisonous when inhaled.

Well, that's good to know. I use vinegar everywhere because I'm afraid of toxic chemicals but sometimes think of switching for a better clean.
