Clorox Wipes...please read!?

Question

Please don't be rude to me about this or anything...I'm sorry...this is stupid but I'm kinda worried. I just wanted to make sure that handling my keyboard after cleaning it with this wouldn't cause me any problems if I touched my eyes and ate with my hands after typing. Earlier today, I used a clorox disinfecting wipe (bleach free) to clean my keyboard and computer. I forgot and a few min. later I got on the computer and ate with my hands and rubbed my eyes. Is it possible that I got any of the stuff off of the wipe in my eyes or ingested it after eating with my hands? My eyes haven't bothered me all day but they are now. I could just be paranoid.

I'm sorry that this is a stupid question, but I always worry about stupid crap. I should be fine, right?

Thank you to the first four people who responded. I feel much better after reading your comments! You not only comforted me, but you weren't rude at all. I appreciate it a lot. :)

Answer 1

You will most definitely be fine, I would not worry about it. You didn't have the Clorox Wipe directly in your mouth/rubbing into your eye, so don't worry about a thing. The Clorox Wipe is a disinfectant and so there is nothing wrong.

Answer 2

Thats fine, its what they are there for.. To prevent you from putting germs in your eyes and mouth.

Answer 3

I definitely agree with the 1st 4 people- you have nothing to worry about, you won't have had nearly enough to harm you, but perhaps, if you are worried about it, use something different to clean your keyboard next time.

Answer 4

I am sure you are fine, even if you ingested a tiny amount it is not a significant amount to harm you in any way. Relax, and try to get some sleep, ok?

Answer 5

go wash your face with water and a wash cloth

you probably didn't ingest enough to cause a problem

and then use alcohol on a napkin to clean your keyboard
we do it at work all the time

and it doesn't affect, effect cuasehnqwicixqshjdj

Answer 6

Since your eyes aren't bothering you, you should not have ingested any of the stuff.

Answer 7

I would not worry about it. To be safe wash your hands before you eat in the future.
