I'm knackered today, hectic day at work. I came home and did my usual quick minesweep through the house.
I cleaned the loo with antibacterial wipes, threw some bleach around the toilet and left the bathroom.

An hour or so later I went for a wee and when i flushed the water was Orange. I had thrown the wipes down the toilet and I'm guessing it wasn't a great mix with the bleach 😩

Slightly panicking that I'm going to gas us all!

I wouldn't worry about being gassed, just open the window for a bit!
You really shouldn't put wipes down the toilet though.

You'll be fine, open the windows as has been suggested.

If it makes you feel better I just got out of the shower and was putting my pyjamas on and ended up falling over because I had both legs in the same hole. It's been a long week at work.

I never throw wipes down I think In my state of knackeredness from work I did it without thinking. Once I realised I stuck a rubber glove on and fished them out!

Well no one is coughing a lung up yet so I think we're safe 😮‍💨

I would be more worried about causing a blockage in your pipes throwing wipes down the toilet rather than than gassing yourselves!
