Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
By next day, most of the fumes and the smell would have gone. The exposure to bleach fumes may be dangerous in the first trimester during organogenesis if the exposure is recurrent. In your case since it was a single exposure there is no need to worry. You can shift back in a day or two.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
