Possible: Possibly, but you are likely to feel the symptoms rather quick. I would continue to hydrate, but if you have continued concerns call poison control, you can google their number and let them know what agents you were exposed to and they will give you additional information on whether or not to be concerned.

Rewash dishes: I doubt you will be significantly harmed by eating off the dishes, but throwing away the sponge and rewashing the dishes in the dishwasher would be prudent.
