   Depends on how much is in there. Add some floor fans to push the vapors out of the room they are coming from. If it is in the tub or sink, run water to dilute the chemical. You may want to leave and come back the next day.
   It will also stain your nostrils, so you will smell it for hours after it goes away, but if it hurts your throat and lungs, then the vapor is still strong.

   Exposure to low levels of chlorine can result in nose, throat, and eye irritation. At higher levels, breathing chlorine gas may result in changes in breathing rate and coughing, and damage to the lungs.
   
   Some people may develop an inflammatory reaction to chlorine. This condition is called reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS), a type of asthma caused by some irritating or corrosive substances.
   
   In general, people who suffer from respiratory conditions such as allergies or hay fever, or who are heavy smokers, tend to experience more severe effects than healthy subjects or nonsmokers.
   
   It should take fifteen minutes to an hour for bleach assuming you were mopping with straight bleach and you did not spill the whole bottle on the floor when you got it wet. It takes less time if the bleach was diluted with warm water as the temperature helps to speed up the process.
   
   If you had a house fan then you could blow the gas out the house in seconds.
   
   As for the asthma, you probably should not be fooling around with bleach. Check with a pulmonologist and see if perhaps you should be taking some sot of COPD medication to help you withstand this and keep you inhaler of albutorol around in case you feel any worse.
   
   The worst that should happen is you bl ck out. Otherwise you may get nauseated. Be more careful and be well.

   Aww geez babes, put a fan on in the room to try to dissipate the grosse smell a bit quicker and leave the windows wide open …. gaaah, the smell of bleach makes me really nauseous….. get out of the house for a couple of hours or just close the doors in the room where the bleach stench is……. it won’t take too long mate…… drink more water also to help you breathe a bit better….;0)
