Cleaning for incoming cat

I used minoxidil for a few years on and off in a bedroom of my house, and it definitely has gotten on a couple wood surfaces as well as the floor, which is that plastic flooring that looks like wood. I wiped it off, but there is a possibility that it didn't all get cleaned before it dried up on some of these surfaces months ago. I don't put it on my body anymore, and I'm planning to wipe everything down and mop before the cat is allowed in the room, but I just feel paranoid. I know it's been months since anything spilled, and most of it didn't get on the floor or has since been wiped up or dried, but how should I go about cleaning in here? Also are clothing and blankets safe once washed with detergent in a washing machine and dryer? I am NOT going to let the cat in before I've finished organizing and cleaning off all surfaces I think it could have come into contact with at any point. I have lived with another cat for years while avoiding direct contact with the substance without issue as well because they were never allowed in the room where I applied it.

I didn't know where else to ask, but am I overreacting? Should I deep clean the bathroom where I used to wash my face too? I just need someone to let me know if the room should be safe once everything is wiped with something, and what should I use to clean?
