Probably OK but...: Aerosol to clean his services? I have NO idea what that might be. It would be MUCH more helpful if you could tell us the name of the aerosol that you inhaled. Most aerosol sprays are somewhat toxic, but an old saying is "the poison is in the dose" so it is unlikely that the small amount you inhaled will have any significant effect on your health. But it is best to avoid inhaling toxic products.
