Lysol in the spray is meant for small limited projects and bleach
doesn't usually come in a spray for a reason. When you aresol that
stuff you better protect not only your lung, but also your eyes and
skin. I can smell chlorine forever until I physically get rid of it.
You may react this way also. I would not leave something  sitting
there overnight as the fumes will go all through the home. I would
clean it, scrub it, rinse it, and dry it as fast as possible. When dry
I would stain kill it to cover any residual chemicals.
Keep researching as suggested until finding something you are
comfortable with.
