Probably unharmed: It is difficult to poison yourself by drinking bleach since it is so close to H2O and well-diluted in water at the home level product. Industrial strength, however, with chlorine is a different story. You may call poison control center for more specific information, if you like. Drinking water will dilute it. For a poison emergency in the U.S. call 1-800-222-1222

No worry: Your hands probably retained the scent or perfume of the wipes, but you would have not ingested or inhaled sufficient quantity to cause any danger or harm.

Brushing Teeth: and rinsing mouth after washing off Chlorox from your hands is fine. It is a disinfectant if ever there's a trace left in your hands and you should be okay :).

No problem: chlorine is actually a good disinfectant in low doses and used to purify water so we can drink it.

Rest of ? missing: I suspect you are worried about getting some of the wipe solution in your mouth. Read the label for info on this. Probably nothing to worry about -- rinse well. Always can call poison control center and ask. Good luck.

May have what?: ...accidentally contaminated your mouth with the cleaning product that may have been toxic. Yes you probably did. But I think if your lips don't burn and you had time to write this question afterwards you probably got away with it. Take more care, and perhaps use gloves for your cleaning chores. Don't forget to wash your hands well. Best wishes Dr Neil McLeod

Don't worry: If you washed your hands after using the cleaning product the concentration of any chemical that could have gotten in your mouth would be so dilute it could not hurt you.

Bleach in mouth: Rinse repeatedly your mouth to dilute the bleach that may have been on your hands. I doubt that you did any damage but this illustrates the need to completely wash and RINSE any cleaning product off your hands prior to touching your face, lips or mouth.

Very Unlikely: Unless you're allergic to something in the wipes, it's not likely that enough transferred on your hands to affect you.
