The other day I washed some T-shirts, that I found in a box that were mildewed, with Clorox in my washing machine. I added concentrated Clorox to the dispenser. I can't get the odor of Clorox out of the room even though there are six windows that have been opened and I have run 10 washes some without clothing in hot water. Every time I walk into the room my throat gets a irritated and I taste that metallic taste of Clorox. It's a new porch and I'm really nervous that some of it might've been destroyed by the odor seeping into the walls. How can I eliminate that odor from the room and for the washer?

First of all obviously you really need to air out that room.
Secondly, as clorine is a base, you need to neutralize it with an acid.
Get an empty spray bottle and put full strength white vinegar in it, then spray liberally throughout the room.
Unless ther'es an open source of bleach contaminating, you should fix your situation.
Do a load with an entire bottle of vinegar. The bleach smell will go away, and the vinegar smell won't last long.
