What Should Be Done After Mistakenly Drinking A Cleaner?

I almost swallowed Mr. Clean earlier, mistaking it for Mountain Dew. It only went in my mouth, until I spit it out. I have eaten and drank water since then. Do I still need to do anything else? Or am I alright now. Nothing feels wrong, my tongue was just a little numb earlier.

Hi there,

Thanks for your query.

Since you did not swallow Mr. Clean, but spat it out, it NEITHER got absorbed into the blood, or gone into the intestine. That's the reason why no toxic effects took place. Hence, no harm was done.

You do NOT NEED to do anything at present. As such, you are perfectly all right now.
