    Minor mess need clean up advice

    Hello, No biggy my wife ran the laundry a number of times and it block the main. So i got some drain water out the clean out and on to the floor. I vacuumed it up and it dried out by the next day(dehumidifier and fans). Should i clean it further and if so with what? Just looking for suggestions. If left a fine dust when it dried. Thanks again

    Actually, chlorine

    will can scorch your lungs, not to quibble. Beer trims brain cells :) A light bleach mist, 10% to 20% in water should be fine, do not over do it and do not let it get into contact with any ammonia or drain cleaners which may be present. Heck, Lysol has a spray that is ok too as well as the Chlorox cleaning spray. Does not take much but yes, ventilate.

    do not

    expose yourself to bleach vapors. Ventilate the room. Bleach vapors kill brain cells.

    maybe some bleach and water

    This will help to sanitize where it flooded. Verify 1st that it wont hurt flooring.
